Jemo by Stephen P Robertson

Jemo: An alternative account of Operation Crossroads by Stephen P Robertson (2010)
Read: May 2011

This self-published book was sent to me by the author - who also sent me the High Noon book read/reviewed at the start of the year. Prior to reading the book I wasn't aware of Operation Crossroads and this book therefore illuminated that and in particular the ethical issues around controlling (or not) such experiments.
A quick and easy read with chapters that kept the pace up. The characters are explored initially, but then developed as individuals and the story sees them trying to bind together to save falling apart. Nice epilogue.
