Synopsis
Physicist Guy Carpenter finds his peaceful life with a prestigious career at NASA, devoted wife, and new baby turned upside down by a Chinese scientific discovery, a study that could have been based on an old American scientific project, the Superconducting Super Collider, that raises serious questions about possible military implications, an old love affair, and national security. 175,000 first printing.

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
