Book Description
Publication Date: November 2, 2013
October 14, 1993 is a day of three beginnings. Jane Wright and Nadia Samoilova begin a life-long relationship. Jane begins her twenty year career with the Polywell. And Nadia begins her career as a high school physics teacher.
By the Fall of 2013, Jane is the director of a top secret Navy fusion project that has successfully developed a safe cheap working Polywell fusion reactor capable of powering a large ship or a community of 30,000. The Polywell leaves no carbon footprint, releases no radiation, uses processed borax and water for fuel, and releases only helium and electricity as products. Coal producers, other energy companies, the Department of Energy, and ignorant but powerful environmental groups feel threatened by this new development. They successfully lobby congress to force the Navy to shut down the Polywell and bury it. Covertly, these same groups attack Jane through Nadia and she experiences both a deadly physical attack and a talk-radio attack on her personal reputation. Nadia and Jane are determined to fight back. With the help of two of Nadia’s students, and an Antonov-124 flight engineer, they attempt to rescue the Polywell from a bureaucratic death. During the rescue attempt, they are attacked by a US F-16 interceptor; and arrested by the Russian FSB.
