Sep 11, 2017Astraeus rated this title 4.5 out of 5 stars
A medium-paced but richly detailed novel depicting a world where the development of the atomic bomb occurred one year earlier, with the resulting decision to use it against Germany in an effort to end the European war and spare millions of lives. The book's focus on the scientific development of the bomb, as opposed to being more action-oriented, might turn off some readers, but the personal struggles of the main character, combined with the surprising yet plausible twists of the plot will keep the reader entertained, and wondering if how our world would exist today if the atomic bomb had been used to try and bring down Hitler's regime.
