“StephenKiernan has pulled off the nearly impossible...The most tender, terrifying,relevant book you’ll read this year.” — Jenna Blum, NewYork Times bestselling author of Those Who Save Us and TheLost FamilyFrom the critically acclaimed author of The Baker’s Secret and The Curiosity comes a novel of conscience, love, and redemption—a fascinating fictionalized account of the life of Charlie Fisk, a gifted mathematician who was drafted into Manhattan Project and ordered against his morals to build the detonator for the atomic bomb.

At the war’s end, Charlie receives a scholarship to pursue a PhD in physics at Stanford—an opportunity he and Brenda hope will allow them a fresh start. But the past proves inescapable.

Fisk, Universe of Two combines riveting historical drama with a poignant love story.
