"What if there had been three atomic bombs destined to fall on Japan at the end of World War II – and the first ended up in Japanese hands? From that, Samuel Hawley spins a compelling tale told entirely from the Japanese perspective. Deeply researched science; a window into nationalism in all its ugliness; love, resilience and humanity even as everything around you is destroyed … Daikon is alternative history at its best."
