Создание атомных бомб и их применение против Японии кажется Роберту Оппенгеймеру катастрофой. Новая бомба на основе ядерного синтеза, над которой работает Эдвард Теллер, может стать еще чудовищнее. Но оказывается, есть проблема похуже. Выясняется, что к 2030 году Солнце выбросит свой внешний слой, уничтожив Землю. Теперь, после конца войны, величайшие умы человечества собираются вместе, чтобы бросить вызов времени и спасти будущее.

On the 75th anniversary of the dropping of the atomic bomb, Hugo and Nebula-winning author Robert J. Sawyer takes us back in time to revisit history…with a twist. While J. Robert Oppenheimer and his Manhattan Project team struggle to develop the A-bomb, Edward Teller wants something even more devastating: a bomb based on nuclear fusion―the mechanism that powers the sun. 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. As the war ends with the use of fission bombs against Japan, Oppenheimer's team, plus Albert…

"Now I am become death, the destroyer of worlds," physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer famously exclaimed when the first atomic bomb exploded in 1945. His Manhattan Project gathered the greatest scientists ever assembled, including Albert Einstein, Richard Feynman, Edward Teller, Leo Szilard, and Enrico Fermi. In this meticulously researched, fast-paced thriller, Sawyer keeps those geniuses together after the war in hopes of redeeming themselves and saving our planet from an environmental catastrophe. If they succeed, they will be able to declare, "Now we are become life, the saviors of the world." The Oppenheimer Alternative will delight…

Пока Роберт Оппенгеймер и его команда по Манхэттенскому проекту бьются над созданием атомной бомбы, Эдвард Теллер мечтает о еще более разрушительном оружии, основанном на ядерном синтезе — механизме, который питает Солнце. Исследования Теллера приводят к ужасающему открытию: к 2030 году Солнце выбросит свой внешний слой, уничтожив Землю. После бомбардировки Японии и конца войны команда Оппенгеймера, а также Альберт Эйнштейн и Вернер фон Браун объединяются — величайшие научные гении прошлого века начинают войну со временем, чтобы спасти наше будущее. Наполненный тщательными исследованиями и насыщенный реальными персонажами, роман…

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.

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…
