Working with some of the age's greatest scientific minds, including J. Robert Oppenheimer, Enrico Fermi, and Leo Szilard, Charlie is assigned the task of designing and building the detonator of the atomic bomb. As he performs that work Charlie suffers a crisis of conscience, which his wife, Brenda--unaware of the true nature of Charlie's top-secret task--mistakes as self-doubt. She urges him to set aside his qualms and continue. Once the bombs strike Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the feelings of culpability devastate him and Brenda. At the war's end, Charlie receives a scholarship to pursue a PhD in physics at Stanford--an opportunity he and Brenda hope will allow them a fresh start. But the past proves inescapable. All any of his new colleagues can talk about is the bomb, and what greater atomic weapons might be on the horizon. Haunted by guilt, Charlie and Brenda leave Stanford and decide to dedicate the rest of their lives to making amends for the evil he helped to birth into the world. Based on the life of the actual mathematician Charles B. Fisk."--Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Fisk, Charles B., $d 1925-1983 $v Fiction. 610 20 $a Manhattan Project (U.S.) $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Atomic bomb $z United States $x History $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Mathematicians $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Husband and wife $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Guilt $v Fiction. 650 7 $a FICTION / Biographical. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a FICTION / War & Military. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a FICTION / Historical / World War II. $2 bisacsh 600 17 $a Fisk, Charles B., $d 1925-1983. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00185276 610 27 $a Manhattan Project (U.S.) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00635166 650 7 $a Mathematicians. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01012154 650 7 $a Husband and wife. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00964385 650 7 $a Guilt. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00949079 650 7 $a Atomic bomb. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00820568 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 650 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 sears 650 7 $a War stories. $2 sears 655 7 $a Biographical fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01726640 655 7 $a Biographical fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01726537 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423787 655 7 $a Novels. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01921742 655 7 $a Biographical fiction. $2 gsafd 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 gsafd 776 08 $i Online version: $a Kiernan, Stephen P. $t Universe of two. $b First edition. $d New York : William Morrow, an imprint of HarperCollins Publishers, [2020] $z 9780062878465 $w (DLC) 2020017846 941 $a 1 $n 1 952 $l CDPF771 $d 20210603113550.0 $n 12 $p +LP 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=32C57F0CAC3311EB98A411E3203FDB2A 994 $a C0 $b IOZInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
