Exciting news! D: HEAVY WATER, the second installment in #NealStephenson's Bomb Light series, publishes October 13th.

Europe, 1934. A British journalist arrives in Moscow on a routine cultural assignment. What follows pulls him across a continent on the brink: through Barcelona in the grip of civil war, across Soviet aerodromes, into the frozen landscapes of occupied Norway. At the center of it all is a substance so rare and so consequential that nations are quietly willing to go to war over it.

Heavy water. Two atoms of hydrogen. One oxygen. The difference between a world that holds and one that doesn't.
