Steffen Kopetzky: Atom – the hunt for a catastrophic technology and the search for a vanished lover
London in the early days of the Second World War: Simon Batley wants nothing more to do with the British Secret Service. He worked for them years ago, naïve and undercover, while studying physics in Berlin. It led to a disaster that Batley never understood; his great love affair with fellow student, Hedi von Treyden, also ended abruptly. But the war changes everything. Agent Batley learns that the Germans have a new weapon with previously unknown powers of destruction. Instructed by Niels Bohr and Rudolf Hess, he goes on a mission to Nazi Germany, hoping to gain access to the German secret weapons program – and to find Hedi.
Steffen Kopetzky’s bestselling novels are thrilling fiction interwoven with real-life events. After “Monschau” and “Propaganda” comes Atom – about the pursuit of nuclear technology, the trace of a ghost, and a man grappling with guilt, love and hope. Host: Thomas Laue
