"Now I become death, the destroyer of worlds." The Hindu god Vishnu spoke these words and this is what physicist Dr. Oppenheimer thought after the first atomic bomb test. He and his team, in a race to save American lives and shorten the war, had created this awesome but deadly thing. The runners in this race were the world's greatest scientists, Russian KGB spies, world leaders, and ruthless military men. The winner would have military and destructive power but at what cost? Bomb is the ultimate spy thriller and science book and it is all true.
