Los Alamos

A masterwork of suspense and love and history

The first book is the best, sometimes for authors. It seems to be true here. I read The Good German from Kanon first and loved it. This is even richer, full of love and faith and the dire consequence of a mission that would change the world. The language of the writing is a set of gems, too. He's the master of works from the 40s, bursting with history and the small but apt detail.
