Steve Hawk
概要
—Kem Nunn, author of Tapping the Source, Dogs of Winter, and Tijuana Straits
“Nearshore is the best novel of homegrown nuclear terrorism yet written, chillingly credible, terrifying, and all too plausible.”
—Richard Rhodes, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Making of the Atomic Bomb
A churning mix of literary suspense and coastal noir—where how the sea interacts with the land reveals the darker side of Silicon Valley, and three people must reckon with all that is at stake in an age shadowed by greed, totalitarianism, and nuclear terror.
Daybreak. West Virginia. A “small” nuclear bomb detonates beside an Appalachian highway. The weapon’s explosive yield is meager, the death count blessedly low. And yet: It is history’s first act of nuclear terrorism, and it threatens to tilt the world beyond reckoning.
Months later, surfer and lifeguard Jamie Palmer is patrolling his domain, a treacherous stretch of wild California coast, when he responds to a mysterious nearshore boating accident that jettisoned two people overboard. The victims turn out to be Palmer’s best friend—a brilliant, renegade Stanford University professor—and the man’s teenage son, Luca. The professor drowns, Luca survives—leaving Palmer as the boy’s guardian.
Soon after, Chelsea Wu, a math prodigy and doctoral student, confides to Palmer that she and the professor unearthed a link between a Silicon Valley megacorporation, its sociopathic billionaire founder, and the nuke in West Virginia. When a second device is detonated, this unlikely team—the surfer, the orphan, and the math whiz—must persuade investigators that the bombmakers are not only homegrown but also hiding in plain sight.
An immersive and disturbingly plausible debut, Nearshore delivers a mix of literary suspense and coastal noir. Moving with the speed of a barreling wave, Nearshore also explores deeper clashes: isolation versus community and family, Silicon Valley versus humanity, words versus action, land versus sea.
批評家のレビュー
“This is an exceptionally thoughtful literary thriller, beautifully rendered against the backdrop of a world its author very clearly knows and loves. In the depth and breadth of its story, in the lyricism of its prose, Nearshore will surely establish Steve Hawk as a writer to be reckoned with.”
—Kem Nunn, author of Tapping the Source, Dogs of Winter, and Tijuana Straits
“Nearshore is the best novel of homegrown nuclear terrorism yet written, chillingly credible, terrifying, and all too plausible.”
—Richard Rhodes, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Making of the Atomic Bomb
“The deadly whirlpool of wealth, amorality, and nuclear terror that animates the plot of Nearshore feels timely in a thousand uncomfortable ways, but author Steve Hawk also gives us an unlikely and unforgettable hero who rises above it all. This is a spectacular debut novel by an extraordinary talent.”
—Martin J. Smith, author of Combustion
“A smart, fun, thrilling read. The characters pop and the story moves like a barreling full-speed point wave.”
—Matt Warshaw, author of The Encyclopedia of Surfing, The History of Surfing, and Mavericks: The Story of Big-Wave Surfing
“Pure fun from start to finish. As someone who studies nuclear proliferation for a living, I can confirm: This scenario is the real deal, and the bad-guy billionaire is entirely plausible. Terrifying and thrilling in equal measure. Read it.”
—Jeffrey Lewis, Distinguished Scholar of Global Security at Middlebury College
“California surf culture has long run adjacent to big American tech.... It has also, always, drawn on the iconography of the American West with its affinity for open space, wild beauty, and loner archetypes. In Nearshore, Steve Hawk assembles these contrasting elements, attaches the fuse of a thriller, and builds a story in the traditions of Cormac McCarthy, Robert Stone, and Kem Nunn to deliver a novel that radiates outward with the speed and force of an atomic blast.”
—Alex Wilson, The Surfer’s Journal
“With an ease uncommon among first-time novelists, Hawk... stokes suspense by toggling between the [characters’] increasingly desperate perspectives as they unearth a far-reaching conspiracy, all without sacrificing character development or lyrical descriptions of the scenic California setting. Engrossing, graceful, and transporting, this is a terrific—if terrifying—tale of near apocalypse.”
