Aventures Fiction #28
In "Le secret de la scie circulaire volante," Frank Barrows finds himself caught in a time-bending mystery when a mysterious voice declares the future rests on his shoulders. With help from an android duplicate he builds to journey ahead, Frank must bridge past and future to stop a deadly atmospheric threat—using nothing but a single electron and a bold idea. Written by Gardner Fox and illustrated by Sid Greene, with a striking cover by Gil Kane and Joe Giella, this 1960 Arédit-Artima adventure blends science fiction and suspense in a story that’s as clever as it is mysterious.

Frank Barrows wakes to a voice telling him that the future depends on him. Frank builds an android duplicate of himself which is sent to the future, but Frank and the android can communicate with each other across time. In the future, light-beings from Aldebaran are "inhaling" argon and "exhaling" monargon, a poisonous waste. Future historical records show that Barrows had developed a technology that could help, but the android duplicates a Frank before he had started that research. Frank is able to knock an electron off an argon atom and get poisonous chlorine and chase away the light-beings.
