NUCLEAR POWER NUCLEAR GAME

Nuclear Power Nuclear Game is a political romance thriller, inspired by the author's own experience living under the Communist regime and working at a nuclear institute in China.

The year is 1950. Zoe and John, two young nuclear scientists from Berkeley, seem to have a perfect life, with promising careers and marriage plans. But their innocence is soon shattered when the Chinese Communist Party seizes power. Choosing to postpone the wedding and return to her home country, Zoe finds herself locked in a political cage and separated from John indefinitely.

Caught in a complex web of revolutionary propaganda and forced to participate in dangerous research, Zoe must confront the looming question of where her true loyalties lie: with her country or with John back in America?

Set during China’s march towards nuclear power amidst the political turmoil of the Cold War, Nuclear Power Nuclear Game spans multiple decades and countries across the globe to tell the story of two nuclear scientists’ fight for world peace and love torn apart by conflicting ideologies.

Nuclear Power Nuclear Game is a duology. Zoe and John (two nuclear scientists) mirror a generation born in the 1920s living through WWII and the Cold War. Unfortunately, Zoe is locked in a political cage and becomes a tamed lamb to the CCP. In the second book (to be published in 2022), Zoe’s daughter, Little Red (a nuclear safety researcher) and George (an investigative journalist) reflect a new generation born during the Cold War, experiencing the era of Communism’s infiltration into the West. However, Little Red rebels against the Communists’ brainwashing and fights for her freedom.
