“A captivating and fascinating read! The nuclear history in this novel is real. I know because I worked on nuclear power plants with Bechtel as well as other nuclear issues at Oak Ridge National Lab and knew several of the real-life characters mentioned in the novel. It was fun to read a fictionalized story about nuclear energy that was well researched, offered a probable plot, and introduced some interesting characters. It also offers visions into the future of nuclear energy. Great story!”
