Praise for The Oppenheimer Alternative
—
“Really great, a page turner. I was hooked from the beginning to the end.”―Andre Bormanis, co-executive producer, The Orville and Cosmos
“Alternate history usually turns on the decisions of politicians and generals. Robert J. Sawyer has done a truly science fictional work of alternate history which turns on the decisions ― and discoveries ― of the great physicists who wrote the history of the 20th century: Einstein, Fermi, Gödel, and … Oppenheimer, the organizer of the Manhattan Project. They are the vividly realized, all-too-human characters who people this novel, and give its brilliant speculations human life and blood. I read this book at a gulp, and you should too ― now I’m going to go read it again. Bravo!”―S.M. Stirling, New York Times bestselling author of Dies The Fire
“Incredibly realistic: the characters, locations, the era, and even the science. I felt like I was back in Los Alamos ― and I should know: I worked there! The plot was breathlessly riveting and kept me wondering how anyone could possibly survive, but Robert J. Sawyer masterfully pulled it off.”―Dr. Doug Beason, former Associate Laboratory Director, Los Alamos National Laboratory
