Through their courage, strength, and beauty, horses will forever be known to capture hearts and bond with humans in a way never thought possible. Horses demonstrate their loyalty and bravery every day on farms and in riding stables. But in this exciting volume of the Miracles series, horses go beyond bravery-and prove themselves to be miracle workers. Whether rescuing their young owners from an attacker, overcoming abuse to serve as a teacher to other horses, or proving therapy to those who need it most, these noble creatures have proven time and time again that miracles can-and do-happen. This book brings to life the steadfast horse-human bond-and shows how horses can change the lives of their riders forever. Near the end of World War II, high on a mesa overlooking the shimmering New Mexico desert, an international team of scientists has gathered together to build the world's most dangerous weapon. Night and day, month after month, the labs and living quarters of this makeshift community buzz with activity as the top-secret operation draws closer to its goal: the building of the deadliest bomb in human history. A few more weeks, and the bomb will be completed; a week or two past that, and the war will be instantly and irrevocably ended.This, of course, is not fiction. Led by Robert Oppenheimer, a team of brilliant scientists in Los Alamos, New Mexico did indeed work together on the Manhattan Project, the secret operation to build the world's first atomic bomb. Against this backdrop--and using Oppenheimer as one of the major characters--Joe Kanon has constructed an ingenious and utterly absorbing thriller.It begins with a murder. In April, 1945, the Project is moving smoothly forward until one evening, a body is discovered in nearby Santa Fe. Local police treat the case with routine suspicion, but when the victim is identified as a scientist from "the Hill, " the army launches a covert internal investigation to find the killer. Has the secrecy of the Project been compromised? Is it possible that the slain man, an enigmatic scientist named Bruner, was revealing classified information to the enemy, or were the bizarre circumstances of his death merely evidence of a lovers' quarrel gone horribly wrong?Michael Connolly, the intelligence officer brought in to crack the case--and then use his PR skills to make it disappear--soon discovers that nothing about Bruner's murder is routine. Butin Los Alamos, a place dedicated to keeping secrets, uncovering the truth proves harder than expected. It is only when he falls in love and begins an affair with Emma Pawlowski, the spirited wife of one of the scientists, that Connolly truly begins to weave together the hidden lives and dangerous associations of those at the dark heart of the Project.In this deft and gripping thriller, Joseph Kanon has created an utterly convincing tale of espionage and love, set against the mist important undercover military operation of our time. Elegantly written and crackling with suspense, "Los Alamos" marks the emergence of a major new talent."They tell me Joseph Kanon is a publishing executive, but I don't believeit. I think Rumble in the Jungle free download pdf he is a veteran of the 1945 atom bomb program. No one could writea first novel so convincing as "Los Alamos" without having been there. Noone could conjure the wartime background with such subtle restraint. If I'mwrong, Joseph Kanon is an outstanding new writer, and "Los Alamos" is atriumph of historical re-creation and my sort of story-telling."
