![]() The novel’s premise is that at the Manhattan Project’s beginning, America’s secret effort to produce the Atomic Bomb, Cohen develops an alternate and faster method of producing weapons grade uranium for “the bomb,” allowing us to make a nuclear weapon in time for D-Day. His father-in-law is Karl Cohen, who is the book’s protagonist and in real life actually was a chemist on the project. Really top-notch alternate history, which was given enormous depth by the fact that Benford has met many of the people who were involved in the Manhattan Project during World War Two. ![]() ![]() Just finished reading The Berlin Project, a novel by physicist and science fiction author Gregory Benford, and it was fabulous.
