Clever Dick

Clever Dick
Socorro, New Mexico. 17 June 1945: a month before the testing of the first atomic bomb. America is at war with Japan abroad, and still reeling from the attack on Pearl Harbour at home. The great American scientist Richard Feynman makes a right turn out of Albuquerque and ends up in a hotel room in the middle of the desert. But a young girl has her own plans for the same room, and Feynman suddenly finds himself entangled in a twisting tale of mistaken identity, espionage, and Einstein's most famous equation. Clever Dick is an explosively funny take on the Manhattan Project, but also a compelling study of the ongoing war within America, between science and the establishment, left and right, liberal and conservative.

Darwin In Malibu

Darwin In Malibu
Malibu, California. The present. One hundred and twenty years after his death, Charles Darwin is hanging out in a beach house overlooking the Pacific with a girl young enough to be his daughter. His peace is rudely disturbed when his old friend Thomas Huxley washes up on the beach closely followed by the Bishop of Oxford. And Darwin suddenly finds himself entangled in an enthralling and thought-provoking comedy about God, science and plastic surgery.
