Description

Andres Kudirka, a once brilliant scientist now headed toward drug-induced insanity, worked on the original A-bomb at Los Alamos and witnessed a test blast in the Pacific where innocent islanders were killed. As chief engineer for Neutron Two, the nation’s first commercial fast-breeder reactor nuclear power plant near Denver, Kudirka harbors a deep resentment toward his employers and the United States, and now plans to destroy Neutron Two, unleashing a holocaust that would kill millions of people.   Kudirka is troubled by a deep guilt he cannot handle. He has never been able to escape the memory of the “routine test” in the Pacific that annihilated an island. He cannot forget the young girl who came crying out of the devastation of her home, the lone survivor and now his wife, Mariko. Pursuing him is federal investigator Yale Pollack, who is determined to expose Kudirka’s past. And Kudirka is desperate enough to stop Pollack using the only means at his disposal–the unimaginable power of a nuclear reactor gone wild close to a major American city housing millions of unsuspecting and unprepared citizens. Can Pollack, or anyone else, stop him in time?

Author Biography:

Lawrence Dunning has been writing and selling fiction--novels and short stories--for most of his adult life. He has three espionage/suspense novels: Neutron Two Is Critical (republished as Fallout!), Keller’s Bomb, and Taking Liberty. A Hollywood talent agency expressed interest in the film rights to Taking Liberty based on a review in Publishers Weekly. He has published some 30 short stories in literary journals, and just recently a collection of his short stories, Rondo and Fugue for Two Pianos. Along the way he has garnered various awards for his writing, among them three Colorado Authors’ League short-story awards. Two of his stories were named in the annual Best American Short Stories list of the 100 best stories published during the year. In addition to writing fiction he has at various times worked for the Dutch government in New York, an international oil publication, and the Department of Defense. He lives in Colorado.
