Our planet is locked in a state of chaos in the midst of World War II when an orphaned but powerful alien people, the Nalardians, arrive and join forces with America and her allies. The tide turns... More > dramatically when their superior technology and astonishing telepathic abilities enter the fray, bringing this global conflict to a swift and decisive end.
Behind the façade of the unprecedented peace that follows, however, something sinister and immeasurably powerful is being hidden from all but those closest to the ones in power. A force is being recreated which had catastrophic consequences on the Nalardian’s mother world and now threatens to not only shatter our world’s tranquility but to ultimately decimate the planet earth.
In this chilling and fascinating prequel to the upcoming movie, Project London, Wheeler recreates our world history and weaves together a tale which explores the complicated nuances of good and evil and the complex nature of mankind and an alien race not so different from us.< Less

More > Beginning with the scientific developments of the pre-war years, the book details the role of scientific exploration in conducting a secret, nationwide enterprise that took science from the laboratory and into combat with an entirely new type of weapon. Throughout the book, short biographies of the men, and a women—Lise Meitner, Leona Woods Marshall Libby, and Chien-Shiung Wu—are provided where most pertinent. Although nuclear weapons still pose a threat to peace throughout the world, splitting the atom was a watermark point in nuclear science and quantum physics. Harnessed responsibly, the enormous power of an atomic chain reaction can serve humanity for good, e.g., atomic energy. Nuclear medicine and x-ray technology are examples of the benefits brought about by these pioneers—the Men of Manhattan.< Less
