Shadow on the Sun - Tapa blanda

Sinopsis

This is a science 'faction' novel written in the tradition of, for example, Michael 'Jurassic Park' Crichton where science fact has been combined with believable fiction. In this eco mystery suspense novel a nuclear scientist has inadvertently become responsible for one of the biggest breakthroughs in defence technology since the atomic bomb ended the Second World War. The scientist's original aim was to provide limitless, clean energy but a Government has been quick to realize its other application. Forced to sublimate his original ideals in exchange for cash and for the sake of his stricken young son he reluctantly complies. But as the project nears completion new calculations show it can have unexpected effects far beyond those he ever intended. He tries to speak out but no one is listening. A side effect is to bring his science into conflict with his strong, religious faith. Should he resign the project or should he remain and try and influence its outcome? But his qualms appear to have come too late. The project is too far advanced. A top secret US military aircraft disappears and with it is lost a secret plan to save 12 million American lives from an impending ecological disaster of biblical proportions. With it too an ancient Past has inexplicably become connected with the Present. Along with his wife and child the scientist becomes entrapped in that Past. With it a time bomb has been set ticking. Lives are at stake. Time is short. And only the Past seems capable of saving the Present.
