The #1 New York Times bestselling author of thirteen previous critically acclaimed works of fiction, including Termination Shock and Cryptonomicon, Neal Stephenson delivers the first part of an epic new historical trilogy that illuminates the origins of the Atomic Age with Polostan: Volume One of Bomb Light. Centered around an extraordinarily intrepid, resourceful, and lively protagonist with roots in both America and Russia, the novel spans two continents and many of the seminal events of the early twentieth century as Stephenson weaves a spellbinding tale of social and economic upheaval, revolution, espionage, invention, sport, and romance.
