À propos de cet audio

Writing with “a sense of wonder that hasn’t prevailed since the days of Heinlein” (Books in Canada), best novel Hugo and Nebula Award winner Robert J. 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 weapon 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 physicists combine forces with Albert Einstein, computing pioneer John von Neumann, and rocket designer Wernher von Braun - 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.

Excellent book. Lots of drama between the various characters, governments, scientists and the military keep the pace of the novel moving along nicely. Well researched by the author and penned with great imagination make this one of my favorite SF novels. Robert makes me proud to be a fellow Canadian.
I also liked Sawyer's idea of a new calendar based on Anti Atoman-(AA), and Post Atoman-(PA)--I'm guessing at the spelling as I had listened to an audio edition---which would replace our current religious based BC/AC calendar. Think of it, a new calendar based on science not religion---love it!!!
(Interesting to note that I had to reread the last chapter about 3 times to fully understand what was going on and let my mind absorb the complexity of it---In short, everything a great SF novel should do, and Sawyer did it in spades).
Note: I had listened to the audio edition as voiced by Josh Bloomberg. Excellently narrated and complete with the various accents and tones
