Dueling Machine

by Ben Bova

In a future where disputes are settled through virtual duels, a machine called the Dueling Machine provides a safe, simulated environment for combat. However, when a warrior from the Kerak Empire discovers a way to inflict real-world harm from within the virtual realm, the inventor, Dr. Leoh, faces a critical challenge. He must find a way to prevent his invention from becoming a tool of conquest and destruction, while grappling with the ethical implications of his creation.
