- Summary
- "Novel about a physicist's career by a scientist who studied under Fermi." Cf. Hanna, A. Mirror for the nation
- An unusually intelligent and sensitive novel depicting the career of a young nuclear physicist in the thirties and forties. He becomes involved in secret atomic energy research as part of the Manhattan Project, but does not work directly on the bomb, although he witnesses the Trinity Test. Postwar security obsessions are criticized, as well as the concentration of all atomic research on weapons rather than energy. --Paul Brians at public.wsu.edu
