And the leaders of both sides know full well that the world's next great power will  not be the one with the biggest army but the nation that wins the race against nature  and science-and smashes open the power of the atom.Praise for The Grapple Turtledove never tires of exploring  the paths not taken, bringing to his storytelling a prodigious knowledge of his subject  and a profound understanding of human sensibilities and motivations.-Library Journal  One of the strongest books in the extended series.-SfSite Compelling.-Publishers Weekly
