About this listen

In The Incredible Slingshot Bombs, Robert Moore Williams delivers a suspenseful and darkly imaginative tale from the Golden Age of science fiction. Set in a rural town during the 1940s, the story follows Tommy Sonofagun—a simple, wide-eyed boy who unknowingly wields a weapon of unfathomable power: radioactive pellets flung from a slingshot. When a string of explosions rocks the countryside, suspicion grows, and fear spreads faster than facts.

As newspaper editor Ben Hopper and relief worker Ellen Briscoe race to uncover the truth, they find themselves pitted against an angry mob, a panicked sheriff, and the terrifying possibility that Tommy has stumbled upon the secrets of time-warped atomic technology. What begins as an odd mystery spirals into a harrowing chase that uncovers a hidden weapons facility—and the tragic cost of fear and misunderstanding in the face of futuristic power.

This story is part pulp thriller, part cautionary tale about science, innocence, and public hysteria, capturing the eerie tension of wartime America with uncanny prescience.
