Written by Frank Herbert in the late 1950s, Cease Fire is a cautionary tale about weapons of the future, and how we as a society must be careful about what we wish for - we just may get it. 2072 - With just the right scientific circumstances on his side, Corporal Hulser conceptualizes a game-changing weapon in the middle of the arctic - but can he make it out alive? As the invention comes to fruition, Hulser comes to realize that his new weapon may change the future of war as we know it, and change the future of humanity with it.
