Reviews
"Alternate history usually turns on the decisions of politicians and generals. Robert J. Sawyer has done a truly science fictional work of alternate history which turns on the decisions -- and discoveries -- of the great physicists who wrote the history of the 20th century: Einstein, Fermi, Gödel, and ... Oppenheimer, the organizer of the Manhattan Project. They are the vividly realized, all-too-human characters who people this novel, and give its brilliant speculations human life and blood. I read this book at a gulp, and you should too -- now I'm going to go read it again. Bravo!" -- Analog Science Fiction and Fact --S.M. Stirling, New York Times bestselling author of Dies The Fire "Incredibly realistic: the characters, locations, the era, and even the science. I felt like I was back in Los Alamos -- and I should know: I worked there! The plot was breathlessly riveting and kept me wondering how anyone could possibly survive, but Robert J. Sawyer masterfully pulled it off." --Dr. Doug Beason, former Associate Laboratory Director, Los Alamos National Laboratory "An expert and engrossing knitting of the threads of history, with genuine characters of the mid 20th Century, to weave out a compulsive fictional narrative." --Jem Rolls, author of the play The Inventor of All Things about Leo Szilard "In The Oppenheimer Alternative, Robert J. Sawyer portrays brilliantly and poignantly the struggles of the scientists who started it all and were consequently obliged to bear an unbearable burden." --Dr. James Christie, Chair, Project Ploughshares, member organization of the Nobel Peace Prize-winning International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear weapons "I enjoyed it tremendously! Really great, a page turner. I was hooked from the beginning to the end. Another fine addition to the Sawyer canon!" --Andre Bormanis, co-executive producer, The Orville and Cosmos
