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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMonths 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSoon 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAn immersive and disturbingly plausible debut, \u003ci\u003eNearshore\u003c\/i\u003e delivers a mix of literary suspense and coastal noir. Moving with the speed of a barreling wave, \u003ci\u003eNearshore \u003c\/i\u003ealso explores deeper clashes: isolation versus community and family, Silicon Valley versus humanity, words versus action, land versus sea.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Nottawa Cottage Bookstore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44029563338839,"sku":"9798217062331","price":44.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0603\/6488\/2007\/files\/image_acd936a9-fb0e-490f-9a0b-0766740c9c87.jpg?v=1783969254","url":"https:\/\/nottawacottagebookstore.ca\/products\/nearshore-a-novel-by-steve-hawk-preorder","provider":"Nottawa Cottage Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
