DESCRIPTION:
Karl Cohen, a chemist and mathematician who is part of the Manhattan Project team, has discovered an alternate solution for creating the uranium isotope needed to cause a chain reaction: U-235. What ensues is an altered account of World War II in this taut thriller. New York Times best-selling author Gregory Benford creates an alternate history about the creation of the atomic bomb that explores what could have happened if the bomb was ready to be used by June 6, 1944. After convincing General Groves of his new method, Cohen and his team of scientists work at Oak Ridge, preparing to have a nuclear bomb ready to drop by the summer of 1944 in an effort to stop the war on the western front. Combining fascinating science with intimate and true accounts of several members of the Manhattan Project, The Berlin Project is an astounding novel that reimagines history and what could have happened if the atom bomb was ready in time to stop Hitler from killing millions of people.

A very plausible answer to one of WW2's most fascinating "what if" questions. Edgar Robinson The best alternative history tales give the reader a deeper understanding of the actual events and this novel is no exception.As much as I'm looking forward to the climactic installment in Harry Turtledove's HOT WAR trilogy (where the limited Korean conflict escalates into WWIII) and as much as I'll miss the late Robert Conroy, I find it very refreshing when genre authors not primarily known for alternative history try their hand at it.With WW2 being such a .
