One-Shot by James Blish

A decision has to be made before the clock runs out, and every method designed to produce certainty keeps failing. With millions of lives in the balance, the only answer left may come from a man who knows how to bet when there’s no second chance. One-Shot by James Blish. That’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.
