Professor Persikov, an eccentric zoologist, stumbles upon a new
light ray that accelerates growth and reproduction rates in living
organisms. In the wake of a plague that has decimated the country's
poultry stocks, Persikov's discovery is exploited as a means to
correct the problem. As foreign agents, the state and the Soviet
media all seize upon the red ray, matters get out of hand... Set in
1928 but written four years earlier, during Stalin's rise to power,
The Fatal Eggs is both an early piece of science fiction
reminiscent of H.G. Wells and a biting, brilliant satire on the
consequences of the abuse of power and knowledge.
