Is this book really of the "conspiracy theory" genre?[edit]

The author points out that this is a work of fiction only and that's how it reads to me. For this reason, my POV, this book more closely belongs to the "Alternative History" genre. Old_Wombat (talk) 11:52, 22 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

What, now?[edit]

Maybe I am misreading the description. It says:

"Its fictional premise is the discovery during the development of nuclear weapons that they only detonate if stationary in a gravitational field, making their use as air-dropped bombs impossible."

...so the airplane drops the bomb, or the missile carries the bomb and it reenters with the warhead, then the bomb hits the ground and stops moving, and THEN it detonates? I don't understand. Doesn't anyone notice this? I feel like I'm taking crazy pills! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:400:8001:BA60:689D:40B2:18B2:9099 (talk) 08:15, 16 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Dropped bombs are detonated mid-air at a specific altitude to create an "air burst". So when they attempt to do so, it doesn't detonate. There is no attempt to detonate it on the ground. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 60.229.208.21 (talk) 07:19, 22 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

You ARE misreading the description. In the book, bombs only detonated when they are tested ON THE GROUND. When dropped from aircraft, they hit the ground, undetonated. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:8003:E422:3C01:8AE:5A84:7CD:C583 (talk) 07:53, 19 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Secret History[edit]

The stub suggests that this is in the alternate history genre. Having read it I think that secret history is more appropriate. Robert Brockway (talk) 15:35, 10 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
