The Re-creation of the World
February 1943. At the Berlin Sports Palace, before an audience of fanatical Nazis, Goebbels, the Propaganda Minister, delivers a fiery speech, leaving a subliminal message hanging in the air: the Germans, despite having just suffered their greatest defeat, will soon possess a weapon that will allow them to win the war.
José Bensaúde, a Portuguese Jew, a genius in mathematics and physics, but also a left-wing idealist, will be instrumental in Germany getting ahead in the atomic race. Captured in France and taken to a concentration camp, he remains there until someone realizes he could be useful to the aims of the Third Reich, just as the resistance begins to gain momentum and strength and Operation Valhalla gets underway.
Will Claus von Staufenberg manage to kill the Führer while he tries at all costs to obtain an atomic bomb? Will the Americans, with the help of Enrico Fermi and Albert Einstein, manage to get ahead of the Nazis and be the first to recreate the world's ground zero in a gigantic and unprecedented explosion in the wilds of New Mexico? And what will Stalin do when he discovers that Moscow and London could be the targets of Hitler's wonder weapon?
