| 520 | _a"The Vortex Blaster Makes War" by E. E. Smith, Ph.D. is a science fiction novelette published in the early 1940s. The story follows Doctor Neal Cloud, a brilliant physicist known as the "Vortex Blaster," who has the unique ability to extinguish destructive atomic vortices that threaten civilization. The narrative explores themes of loss, revenge, and resilience as Cloud grapples with the memory of his family after a tragedy transforms his outlook on life. In this action-packed tale, Cloud is thrust into conflict when he responds to a distress call in space, leading him to the war-torn planets of Dhil and Uhal, whose inhabitants are at odds despite their similarities. The story gains momentum as Cloud battles against various enemies, including the ambitious Uhalian warlord Darjeeb, who seeks to exploit Cloud’s technology for domination. As Cloud navigates through treacherous encounters and political intrigue, he teams up with the resilient Minister of War, Luda, to extinguish a catastrophic vortex that threatens both worlds. Together, they confront deep-seated animosities while aiming to foster peace and cooperation among the divided civilizations, ultimately showcasing the power of unity against destruction.
