| 520 | _a"Formula for Conquest" by James R. Adams is a science fiction novel written in the mid-20th century, specifically during the 1940s. The book follows a soldier of fortune named Tod Mulhane, who gets embroiled in an interplanetary conflict involving multiple planets and their respective forces. The central theme revolves around Professor August Q. Twilken's formula, which has the potential to accelerate the evolution of the primitive inhabitants of Venus, thus impacting the power dynamics among the Allied Worlds and their adversaries. The story begins when Mulhane encounters Professor Twilken in a Martian bar, who reveals a desperate plan to avert an impending interplanetary war by using his transformative formula to gain an edge over their enemies. However, their mission becomes complicated when they attract the attention of Mon Pordo, a Jovian agent eager to steal the formula for his own nefarious purposes. After being captured, Mulhane and Twilken find themselves imprisoned but ultimately orchestrate a clever escape. The climax unfolds in a dramatic confrontation at the Jovian palace, where Mulhane disrupts a pivotal meeting with a daring plan to thwart Pordo and his allies, ultimately leading to their downfall. The narrative presents a blend of action, adventure, and a critique of ambition-driven conflicts, revealing Mulhane's resilience and ingenuity amidst chaotic circumstances.
