I'm not sure I expected much from this book. I had just finished reading a historical non-fiction on Winston Churchill and this popped up. I'm Canadian and had never heard of this accident (I was quite young at the time) and was very interested in the story. It was really, really well written and intriguing! I was disappointed in the ending, this was no fault of the authors by any stretch of the imagination, but it wasn't what I was expecting. It didn't ruin the experience and in fact I'm now reading a second novel by the author.

Great story and information for the first 90% then the book turns into a bit of a personal vendetta/frustration/rant. The first 75% is told as a factual reporting, then it becomes a first person story with narrower scope. I know that information wasn't available (was withheld) but I'd love to see the full accounting of this event. (I recently read Project Coldfeet and that was a better narrative - both fascinating bits of history!)

Interesting search for a radioactive core

After the unintended crash of a nuclear powered Soviet satellite a team of Canadian and U.S. Scientists behind a search for the radioactive material that has contaminated more than 15,000 square miles of Canadian territory. The author in great detail explains the search and it's uncertain outcome. A good read.

Stranger than fiction

1978 is a long time ago and the wilds of Canada thousands of miles from my position but the author carried me through time and distance to be right there. Frightening, enthralling and thought provoking right to the last sentence. This should be a major film.

A very thought provoking book. In truth I struggled to finish the book hoping for a definitive conclusion to many of the questions raised. Such as where is the highly radioactive core? In summary a good read but without a definitive ending.

Book had a really interesting topic, but kinda fell off 3/4 of the way through. There really was no conclusion or closure to the story.
