Sawyer brings you "a truly science-fictional work of alternate history" (S.M. Stirling). While J. Robert Oppenheimer and his Manhattan Project team struggle to develop the A-bomb, Edward Teller wants something even more devastating: a bomb based on nuclear fusion--the mechanism that powers the sun. But Teller's research leads to a terrifying discovery: by the year 2030, the sun will eject its outermost layer, destroying the entire inner solar system--including Earth. After the war ends, Oppenheimer's team plus Albert Einstein and Wernher von Braun stay together--the greatest scientific geniuses from the last century racing against time to save our future. Meticulously researched and replete with real-life characters and events, The Oppenheimer Alternative is a breathtaking adventure through both real and alternate history. "I loved it!"--Lee Smolin, author of The Trouble with Physics "An imaginative restructuring of a phantasmagoric life into an alternative phantasmagorical story. Oppenheimer fans will be intrigued."--Martin J. Sherwin, co-author of American Prometheus: The Triumph and Tragedy of J. Robert Oppenheimer "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: A Spacetime Odyssey "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! Breathlessly riveting; Sawyer pulls it off masterfully."--Doug Beason, former Associate Laboratory Director, Los Alamos National Laboratory "I knew many of these physicists, and Sawyer nails them accurately."--Gregory Benford, author of The Berlin Project Robert J.
