Belgian gunmaker needs more time. Bodyguard of one of French conspirators has daughter suffering from leukemia. He is contemplating making a phone call--maybe an opening into the gang later. This remains very much a "how to" book, describing in detail all the detailed planning that went into the assassination attempt.
Solid opening 30 minutes (we're treating this like a mini-series). O's involvement with left-wing causes . . . rift with Einstein (O thinks of him as over-the-hill and Einstein knows it.) First splitting of atom. Lawrence Lab in Berkeley--Lawrence practical applied physics . . . not O's strength. Main actor is from Peaky Blinders.
