Planets in Binary Star SystemsThe discovery of extrasolar planets over the past decade has had major impacts on our understanding of the formation and dynamical evolution of planetary systems. There are features and characteristics unseen in our solar system and unexplainable by the current theories of planet formation and dynamics. Among these new surprises is the discovery of planets in binary and multiple-star systems. The discovery of such "binary-planetary" systems has confronted astrodynamicists with many new challenges

Binary
Binary is a techno-thriller novel written by Michael Crichton in 1972. The novel was originally published under the pen-name John Lange.
The villain is a middle-class small businessman who decides to
assassinate the President of the United States. He spends his life
savings to carry out the theft of an army shipment of the two precursor
chemicals that form a deadly nerve agent.
The nerve agent VX was intended to be detonated in Downtown San
Diego, corresponding with the arrival of the President to attend a
Republican party conference taking place there.
The Nerve Agent was contained inside two alacran (a combustible
plastic) tanks, and plastic explosive was placed in between, so that
when the explosion occurred, the two binary gases would form VX.
