Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:With this rollicking novel--hailed equally for its satiric bite, its lightly borne scientific savvy, and its tender compassion for foible-prone humanity--one of Americaís preeminent storytellers returns to fiction for the first time in a decade.
Guy Carpenter is a regular guy, a family man, an obscure NASA scientist, when he is jolted out of his quiet life and summoned to the corridors of power in Washington, DC. Through a turn of events as unlikely as it is inevitable, Guy finds himself compromised by scandal and romance, hounded by Hollywood, and agonizingly alone at the white-hot center of a firestorm ignited as three potent forces of American culture--politics, big science, and the media--spectacularly collide. Synopsis:- Herman Wouk received the Pulitzer Prize in 1951 for his third novel, The Caine Mutiny. In the ensuing half-century, with the publication of Marjorie Morningstar, The Winds of War, The Hope, The Glory, and other abiding bestsellers, Wouk has secured a berth in America's literary pantheon. Synopsis:The first novel by Wouk in ten years is a light, sprightly story about lost love, high-energy physics and the machinations of Washington. At 60, physicist Guy Carpenter is thrust back into the spotlight when the Chinese make a startling announcement. About the AuthorHerman Wouk earned his living as a scriptwriter for Fred Allen before serving in World War II. His career as a novelist spans nearly six decades and has brought him resounding international acclaim. He lives in Palm Springs, California.
