I love that Hickman takes history, puts his hands in it and just swishes around ideas and comes up with this brilliant little concoction. It's proof that we should ALWAYS question things, never assume what we hear is truth but instead seek that truth. The concept that the atomic bomb was just the beginning, the starter and even a cover up, per se, of what was really going on behind closed doors is such a great topic to write on. I'm a questioner in many ways, so this book was right up my alley and boy did Pitarra do a splendid job of artistically conveying this story. Oh and the meshing of characters is perfection! I will be reading further for sure.
