“Splinters of Infinity is Mark Wolverton at his best, offering both a portrait of the elusive nature of our radiation-rich universe and an incisive look at the ways that scientists battle their way toward understanding it.” ~ Deborah Blum, Pulitzer Prize–winning author of The Poison Squad: One Chemist's Single-Minded Crusade for Food Safety at the Turn of the Twentieth Century

“Meticulously researched and beautifully written, Splinters of Infinity follows dueling physicists as they struggled to make sense of mysterious particles that rained down from the sky—marking either a cosmic renewal or a slow cosmic death. Fascinating!” ~ David Kaiser, author of Quantum Legacies: Dispatches from an Uncertain World

“Mark Wolverton presents a riveting tale that could rival the movie High Noon. This battle of ideas vividly unveils the dark side of the scientific enterprise. Spoiler alert: the good guy wins.” ~ Marcia Bartusiak, MIT Professor of the Practice Emeritus and author of The Day We Found the Universe
