Description

The Berlin Project by Gregory Benford An alternate history thriller that reimagines World War II, this novel explores what could have happened if the atomic bomb was ready to be used by June 6, 1944. Karl Cohen, a chemist and mathematician working on The Manhattan Project, has discovered an alternative solution for creating the uranium isotope needed to cause a chain reaction. Cohen's discovery convinces General Groves of his new method, leading to a team of scientists at Oak Ridge preparing to have a nuclear bomb ready by summer 1944. This altered account of World War II unfolds in a taut thriller that combines fascinating science with intimate and true accounts of several members of The Manhattan Project. The result is an astounding novel that reimagines history and the consequences of Cohen's discovery, offering a gripping and thought-provoking read.
