GODFREY, Hollis

(1874-1936)
   US writer in whose sf novel, The Man who Ended War (1908), the inventor of a radioactive metal-disintegrating beam (a nuclear weapon of sorts, probably the first in world literature) threatens to destroy the world's warships, one by one, if the great powers refuse to disarm. They resist and he carries out his threat, finally killing himself with his own beam, thereby protecting the secret of its manufacture.
   JC
   Other works: Dave Morrell's Battery (1912).
