Dr. Eric Bruno worked on a remote island with his assistant, Norman Durocher. Supplies were delivered by boat to the island. The sailors delivering the items didn't care for Bruno's aggressive demeanor, leaving as soon as they could. Bruno developed a microscopic species of creatures similar in appearance and habits to Microscopic Neanderthals. He speeds up their cultural and evolutionary process. In little time, the creatures had developed to a societal state where matters resembled the first World War. Soon again, they had developed a weapon akin to the atom bomb.
