This thriller follows the life of a genius African-American student, Brad, matriculating at MIT in the 1950?s. At MIT, the curse of his genius drags him into a governmental PR stunt to launch a nuclear missile at the moon in response to the Sputnik satellites ominously orbiting the Earth. When the Russians learn of the plan, his life is put in peril while a larger conspiracy emerges when his professor’s husband learns of their torrid affair.
Put at peril is too vague. Are the Russians actively trying to kill him? That is a completely different story to threats. A MIT grad working in a Government program to put a nuke on the moon goes on the run to escape Russian assassination.

The world has fallen apart. ?A bottle of water would be enough reason to kill someone.
Don has been travelling wide and far to find insulin for his diabetic daughter. ?He has traveled so far that the only way he will find his way back is the GPS he carried. ?During an argument Sara takes his GPS. ?This traps him in the valley. ?Sara is unfortunately only dressed in jeans and a t-shirt (no shoes or other clothes). ?It is winter and she will only last a few days before she dies of exposure. ?Don has everything she owes (he has taken over her caravan).
She doesn’t have the means to make it to the nearest town and Don will not get home in time to save his daughter without the GPS.
This puts them in a fight to the death. ?Don and her could talk it out, but due to action, that options it long gone.
Yes some GPS work without the telephone network, think of the Arctic.
Quarantine was the last safe place on earth as far as Sara and her family knew.
The theme is, how far does a person have to be pushed before they change who they are?
Is it right to act badly for good reasons?
Who is more right, a man willing to kill to protect his daughter or a girl will to steal to protect herself?
