An Atomic Tale, a very well written legal and historical thriller, intertwines a contemporary OE90 s story of the southwest with a bizarre chronicle of Nevada s open air atomic testing from the OE50 s. When a Utah rancher, his niece and their attorney come to illegally posses highly classified documents from a retired Nevada Test Site manager, the race begins. Can they deliver the tell-all documents, extremely incriminating to the U.S. government, into the hands of downwinder victims without being caught or killed? And in the midst of trying to reveal America s secrets, the three begin to reveal their own to each other. This novel is a page-turner, based in historical fact that vividly shows how our past can either inform or doom our future.
