Book description
Forget everything you think you know about Hiroshima. Samuel Hawley's Daikon-a masterwork of historical fiction-reimagines the Pacific War with a jaw-dropping premise: three atomic bombs, not two, were delivered to Japan in 1945. The audiobook makes this staggering twist feel terrifyingly real. As The New York Times notes, it unfolds "in highly cinematic fashion," and the narration amplifies every pulse-pounding moment. You'll hear the frantic rhythm of Keizo Kan, a physicist who loses his daughter to the Tokyo Firebombing, then risks everything to save his imprisoned Japanese American wife. His mission? Dissect a downed American bomber's recovered uranium bomb, ignoring his assistant's rapid decline from radiation sickness. The military demands a weapon to turn the tide, forcing Kan into a choice that shatters his soul: save his family or unleash annihilation.
The audiobook's pacing is flawless, matching Publishers Weekly's "pulse-pounding climax." You'll feel the weight of Kan's desperation, the desperation of a city starving in ruins, as his voice (and the narrator's) conveys both scientific precision and raw humanity. John Grisham calls it "a riveting tale about war, intrigue, love, and perseverance"-and the audio version makes those emotions visceral. The Wall Street Journal praises its "bracingly intimate ending," and you'll hear the quiet devastation in every word as Kan confronts his conscience.
This isn't just a novel; it's a revelation. Hawley spent twenty-seven years crafting Daikon, and the depth shows. It's the kind of book that lingers like Cold Mountain, but with a twist that redefines history itself. The narration doesn't just tell the story-it immerses you in the smoke, the fear, the impossible choices. When Kan whispers, "What is a life worth if not used to save another?" you'll feel it in your bones. For anyone who loves history that breathes with urgency, Daikon is a landmark. It's not just a story about the past-it's a mirror held to the human cost of war, delivered through an audiobook that's impossible to turn off. A singular voice, a timeless tale, and a listening experience that stays with you long after the final word.
