Hugo and Nebula Award winner: Manhattan Project hard-SF/alternate history
Just two weeks — a scant 14 days! — left to get my latest novel The Oppenheimer Alternative at the pre-publication special ebook price of an atomically small US$4.99 or local equivalent at Amazon, B&N, Apple Books, Kobo, etc., worldwide. After that, the price goes up, up, up like an Orion rocket!
A hard-SF novel and an alternate history novel about the scientific geniuses behind the Manhattan Project and the birth of the atomic age. Every character is real and famous: J. Robert Oppenheimer, Edward Teller, Leo Szilard, Albert Einstein, Hans Bethe, Enrico Fermi, Kurt Godel, Wernher von Braun, and more. Robert J. Sawyer has won the Hugo and Nebula Awards for Best Novel of the Year. The ABC TV series FlashForward was based on his novel of the same name. Worldwide ebook buying links are here: https://sfwriter.com/exoa.htm#buyebook “My favorite Sawyer book of all; a solid award contender!” —Amazing Stories “Science fiction fans will devour this smart speculative tale.” —Publishers Weekly “I loved it!” —Lee Smolin “This book has everything a reader wants from Sawyer.” —Analog “Oppenheimer fans will be intrigued.” —Martin J. Sherwin “I felt like I was back in Los Alamos — and I should know: I worked there!” —Doug Beason “I knew many of these physicists, and Sawyer nails them accurately.” —Gregory Benford “A novel as expansive as the physics (and physicists) under whose watch the original Project Orion was launched.” —George Dyson “A realistic and intriguing look at Oppenheimer and his work.” —Booklist “A terrific story.” —Eric Flint “I was hooked from the beginning to the end.” —Andre Bormanis “I read this book at a gulp — now I’m going to go read it again. Bravo!” —S.M. Stirling Get your discounted ebook copy from your favorite ebook store via the links here: https://sfwriter.com/exoa.htm#buyebook Last edited by RobertJSawyer; 05-19-2020 at 03:43 PM. |

I read Your Quintaglio Ascension series (Italian translation) and I liked it very much. This new book will be translated in Italian? May be Urania?

Urania has published all my books in Italy, and we have a great relationship. I'm sure they'll do The Oppenheimer Alternative in Italian at some point, although it'll be at least a year from now, if not longer. Many thanks for your kind words and your interest!
