Synopsis
With this rollicking novel-hailed equally for its satiric bite, its lightly borne scientific savvy, and its tender compassion for foible-prone humanity-one of America's preeminent storytellers returns to fiction. Guy Carpenter is a regular guy, a family man, an obscure NASA scientist, when he is jolted out of his quiet life and summoned to the corridors of power in Washington, D.C. Through a turn of events as unlikely as it is inevitable, Guy finds himself compromised by scandal and romance, hounded by Hollywood, and agonizingly alone at the white-hot center of a firestorm ignited as three potent forces of American culture--politics, big science, and the media--spectacularly collide.

Product Description
A Hole In Texas
Review
It is refreshing and salutary to encounter a novel by a writer who wants to remind us that one of the features that characterizes a great nation and ensures its continuing greatness is its commitment to big projects, ....An entertaining, eminently readable novel that sheds light on what happens when politicians vote to scrap projects in basic science'- Los Angeles Times Book Review ('Well, whatever the Sam Hill he may have had in mind with such a premise, he spins it into a crackling yarn and writes with an enduring vigor that whippersnappers might envy..The warmth, the creakiness and the genuine zest of A HOLE IN TEXAS are all to be)
Playful, thoughtful and passionate, this first novel by Wouk in 10 years will charm fans with its companionable warmth and wry humor.'- Publishers Weekly
