In 1943, when the United States learns that Germany is for the verge of a lethal innovation that could tip the balance of the war, the federal government turns to an unlikely source for help: the nation’s best science fiction writers. Installed at a covert military lab within the Philadelphia Naval Backyard are the most amazing of these young visionaries. The unruly music group is definitely led by Robert Heinlein, the dashing and complicated master from the genre. His “Kamikaze Group,” which includes the ambitious genius about The Astounding, the Amazing, and the Unidentified Isaac Asimov, can be tasked with transforming the miracles of science fiction into research fact and unlocking the secrets to invisibility, death rays, force fields, climate control, and various other astounding phenomena – and finding it harder than they ever truly imagined. When a German spy washes ashore near the left behind Long Island ruins of a mysterious energy service, the military begins to fear the Nazis are a stage ahead of Heinlein’s group. Now the oddball group, joined by old friends in the Pulp Period including L. Ron Hubbard (court-martialed for attacking Mexico), must competition to capture up. The answers they seek could be locked in the renowned Battle of Currents, that was fought decades earlier between Nikola Tesla and Thomas Edison. As the threat of an imminent Nazi invasion of America expands increasingly more feasible, events are set in place that just may revolutionize the future – or ruin it – while forcing the authors to challenge the limits of talent, imagination, love, destiny, as well as fact itself. Blazing at breathtaking quickness from neglected tunnels deep beneath Manhattan to top-secret battles in the North Pacific, and careening from truth to pulp and back again, The Astounding, the Amazing, as well as the Unidentified is a sweeping, romantic epic – a page-turning rocket ship ride through the history of the future.
