War has taken everything from physicist Keizo Kan. His young daughter was killed in the Great Tokyo Air Raid, and now his wife, Noriko, has been imprisoned by the brutal Thought Police. The Imperial Army dispatches Kan to examine an unusual device recovered from the plane's wreckage -- a bomb containing uranium -- and tells him that if he can unlock its mysteries, his wife will be released. Working in secrecy under crushing pressure, Kan begins to disassemble the bomb and study its components. The army orders Kan to prepare the bomb for detonation, and he is soon confronted with a series of decisions that will test his courage, his loyalty, and his very humanity.

Incredible Story!

This was a book I couldn’t put down and had twists I didn’t see coming.

A Lot of People Like This One

I gave this book 4 stars because several times I stayed up way too late reading it. I liked it but I didn’t exactly love it. I found the storyline both intriguing and at times long and a bit boring. I feel conflicted about my feelings toward this book. It appears to be a success so maybe it’s just me.

Twists and turns

I enjoyed this read a lot. The characters were well developed, and the setting was intriguing.
