ABOUT THE AUTHOR

S. G. Scott grew up near California’s Gold Rush country. His experiences there and abiding interest in its history and environment provided the backdrop to this novel. Scott spent his early career in the defense industry working on secret missile and satellite projects. Later he worked at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) involved in the design of atmospheric research experiments. Scott’s experience in the defense industry, his alarm over the spread of thousands of nuclear-tipped missiles, and his association with scientists who spoke of a possible nuclear winter prompted this novel. Its drama was inspired by the politics and personalities behind the uranium adventure.
