Broken Symmetries, Preuss Paul

BROKEN SYMMETRIES introduces theoretical physicist Peter Slater and world-traveling photojournalist Anne-Marie Brand. They meet in Hawaii, where Anne-Marie is in pursuit of a story about the giant atom-smasher TERAC, the newest and biggest particle accelerator in the world, built amidst the pineapple fields of Oahu. Dr. Martin Edovich is the triumphant scientist behind the project--he claims that his discovery of I-particles will win him the Nobel Prize and change the face of physics.

But Peter Slater predicted the existence of I-particles long ago and suspects that they are unstable--explosive and potentially cataclysmic. And as TERAC ramps up, Slaters theory is about to be tested.
