New York, 11. Oktober 1939: Ein Mann steigt in den Zug und fährt nach Washington. Er hat einen Brief in der Tasche, den Albert Einstein geschrieben hat. In der Hauptstadt der USA angekommen, eilt der Mann ins Weiße Haus, um dem US-Präsidenten den Brief zu überreichen und einen Stegreif-Vortrag über die bahnbrechenden Erkenntnisse der Kernspaltung zu halten. Mit dieser historischen Begebenheit beginnt der Roman, der auf wahren Ereignissen beruht. Er erzählt vom Beginn des Atomzeitalters aus der Perspektive des New Yorker Bankiers Alexander Sachs (1893-1973), eines brillanten Netzwerkers, dessen Einfluss ihn ins Oval Office, hinter die Kulissen holzgetäfelter Vorstands¬etagen und in angesagte Hotelbars führt. Im Ergebnis kommt es zu einer beispiellosen Zusammenarbeit von Wissenschaftlern, Technikern und Politikern. Im Manhattan Project entwerfen sie ein neues Zeitalter: das der atomaren Abschreckung. Doch am Ende kippt das Engagement für Demokratie und Freiheit. In Hiroshima und Nagasaki sterben nach den Atombombenabwürfen sofort über 120 000 Menschen. Der Abwurf der Bombe ist auch eine tragische Kettenreaktion von Zufällen, er prägt am Ende die Biografien der Protagonisten und verweist dabei auf den schmalen Grat zwischen Kompromiss, Kalkulation und Selbstverleugnung. Die Welt lebt von nun an im Schreckens¬szenario atomarer Bedrohung, die Verantwortlichen des Bombenbaus müssen sich im November 1945 einer Anhörung im Senat stellen und Einstein bereut den Brief an Präsident Roosevelt als seinen schlimmsten Fehler.

A Beta Worth Rooting For
Format: Kindle
In Spare, Violet Fox flips the omegaverse on its head, giving us a Beta heroine determined to make her mark. Joining the Beta Trials to support her sick father, she's thrown into a pack that doesn't want her, especially the possessive Alphas. But here's the twist: their sweet Omega turns out to be her scent match. Cue the angst, forbidden tension, and a slow-burn romance that will make your heart ache in the best way. Violet Fox delivers an emotional, refreshing take on the genre, proving Betas aren't "spares." They're stars.

Beta, Alpha, Omega oh my!
Format: Kindle
Omegas are precious and given to Alphas & their packs... but the Betas want in too. To this end, the Beta government is rolling out its trial of assigning a Beta to each Alpha-Omega pack. But forcing a Beta into a pack where they are not wanted will not end well... Of course, no one expected the Omega to fall for the assigned Beta. Great read and cliffhanger

A familiar story, just with…..less.
Format: Kindle
So, as other reviewers make clear, this is very similar to Pack Darling and The Beta. It’s much closer aligned with The Beta, in plot and maybe more like Pack Darling with characters. That being said, I don’t hate this…..but it wasn’t great either. It’s both books mentioned but just….less. Less angst, less emotion, less feeling. The plot feels very half fleshed out, and the “bad guy” feels underwhelming. I didn’t really feel any real emotions from and of the male leads, except maybe Oliver. The others fell sorta flat for me. And Mika makes herself out to be this big bad ass straight outta training and then we never see it from here again with the one fitting room incident as the exception. SPOILER: The whole, “Oh, I’m actually probably an Omega, but I don’t wanna be but I do actually wanna be but no one can ever know my secret that I do nothing to hide “ thing fell so flat. She never commutes to believing she was secretly an omega, but also mentions her “secret” a lot. It just felt so manufactured. I’m intrigued enough to read part 2 and see how the author closes everything out, but this is not one I’ll recommend or ever come back to.

Good start to a series
Format: Kindle
I delayed reading the series for reasons I don’t remember. But my TBR list is huge so I thought I’d take a shot of this and I was pleasantly surprised. I didn’t think the blurb about it was anything special. But it was a very good book. It took some interesting twists and turns. I am so glad the second book is already out. Because I would not have waited patiently. Very slow burn but good storyline. 🔥🔥/5

A good read
Format: Kindle
Multiple points of view. 3 Alpha men and an Omega male. She is a Beta in training for a new program placing betas in Alpha/Omega packs. Mila is only doing the program for the money to take care of her dad. She wasn't expecting to fall for a pack but when she sees this packs Omega she is done for. There is just something about him. His Alphas are good looking as well. Too bad she is hiding a secret and their government is acting shady. I liked it and can't wait to see where their story goes.
