Die Masse macht’s! Die Wissenschaftler aus dem Kernforschungsinstitut in Clobham kommen eigentlich gut mit den Einheimischen zurecht – solange niemand über seine Arbeit spricht. Die gefährlichen Substanzen, mit denen die Forscher hantieren, sind den Ortsansässigen mehr als suspekt. Eines Tages beobachten die Besucher des örtlichen Pubs, wie ein LKW von der Straße abkommt und in einen Graben fährt. Seine Ladung wird dabei beschädigt, und der Fahrer ergreift in Panik die Flucht, denn offenbar tritt etwas sehr, sehr Gefährliches aus den zerbrochenen Kisten aus … Die Kurzgeschichte „Kritische Masse“ erscheint als exklusives E-Book Only bei Heyne und umfasst ca. 10 Seiten.
