A Hole in Texas

by Herman Wouk

Guy Carpenter is an astrophysicist who, until the project lost its funding, used to work on the Higgs Boson, a force field that, if harnessed, could power a devastating bomb. Now the Chinese have the Boson--and Guy's old girlfriend and fellow physicist, Wen Mei Li, is part of the Chinese team working on it. His wife isn't pleased when she comes to America for a conference. And, just to make things a little more interesting, Guy has been accused of passing bomb secrets to the Chinese. Herman Wouk won the Pulitzer Prize for THE CAINE MUTINY in 1951, and many of his novels have been made into movies and TV miniseries. A HOLE IN TEXAS, published just before his 89th birthday, is Wouk's first novel in 10 years.

Publisher Notes

Physicist Guy Carpenter finds his peaceful life with a prestigious career at NASA, devoted wife, and new baby turned upside down by a Chinese scientific discovery, a study that could have been based on an old American scientific project, the Superconducting Super Collider, that raises serious questions about possible military implications, an old love affair, and national security.
