The wrong Sun

by Ian Morgan

Two worlds run parallel, unaware of each other, toward the collision point that will change history. In the clear Pacific sky, Colonel Paul Tibbets is in command of the Enola Gay. He is the best pilot of his generation, a man of glacial professionalism, chosen for the most secret and devastating mission of all time. In the bomb bay of his plane rests a weapon of inconceivable power, the "creature" of the Manhattan Project. His job is not to think, but to execute. His duty is to end the war. At any cost. On the ground, in the vibrant city of Hiroshima, young Akiko Tanaka wakes to another hot summer day. Her life is made of small dreams, of caring for her little brother, and the hope that her father will return from the front. As she walks through the crowded streets, amidst the sounds and scents of her city, she is unaware that above her head a silver dot is tracing a route that will erase her world, her loved ones, her very future. At 08:15 on August 6, 1945, the two worlds collide in a blinding flash. It is the dawn of a wrong sun, a man-made sun that brings eternal night. But what happens after history has reached its apex? How does a man live with the memory of having annihilated a city, while sleeping soundly? And how can a survivor go on living, becoming the keeper of a legacy of ash and a warning for humanity? The wrong Sun is a powerful and necessary historical novel, a journey into the heart of two irreconcilable that of a soldier who believed he was saving the world, and that of a woman who saw her world end.
