Summary

"The Cosmic Deflector" by Stanton A. Coblentz is a science fiction story from the early 1940s about a world-changing invention and the problems it causes. Dan Holcomb creates the Cosmic Deflector, which can change gravity. This invention attracts a powerful company, but it also pulls Dan into a dangerous conspiracy. The company's leaders, Hogarth, Wiley, and Malvine, want to use the Deflector to move the Earth out of its orbit so they can control the world. They kidnap Dan, but his wife, Lucile, helps him by sending messages through the radio. Together, they must stop the villains' evil plan. The story builds to a dramatic moment where Dan and Lucile must risk everything to save the Earth, showing the power of love and smart thinking against out-of-control greed.
