But amid the aftermath of a nuclear weapons test in the South Pacific, everything Scott believes&mdash;and refuses to believe&mdash;will be turned upside down.<BR /> &#160;<BR /> In a pool of clear water lies a single casualty of the blast, a beautiful winged being certainly not of this earth. And when a second celestial creature is discovered following a Russian H-bomb test, the military establishments of two major powers are thrown into chaos. Sworn enemies, each pledged to the other&rsquo;s destruction, they must now deal with the unthinkable and the impossible: that the Cold War has transcended the boundaries of the world, reaching into heaven to bring down angels.<BR /> &#160;<BR /> A provocative tale as beguiling as it is disturbing, Philip Wylie&rsquo;s <I>The Answer </I>is a captivating fantasy of the nuclear age. Set at the height of the United States&ndash;Soviet arms race, it is a page-turning thriller that taps into the anxieties and paranoia of a bygone era, offering a heartfelt plea for peaceful coexistence while decrying the suicidal insanity of war.<BR /><BR /></DIV>
