5.0 out of 5 stars A great "What if" novel, December 20, 1999
By 
John M. Schreiner (Sacramento, California) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Lightsource (Paperback)
If you watched the movie "Chain Reaction" and liked it definitely read this book! What if Economical Cold Fusion was a reality? Inexpensive and Plentiful Energy. What would the Oil companies do to protect themselves from ruin? A Lady Physicist discovers the answer forcing her to run for her life. Her only hope is to make the President aware of her discovery before the powers at be catch up with her. Not too technical, but a real thriller.

5.0 out of 5 stars We need LIGHTSOURCE now!, April 8, 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Lightsource (Paperback)
A finely crafted tale of scientific possibilities apparently just beyond our grasp. A "what if" scenario of character, intelligence, power and true evil which rises to an exquisite level of tension and suspense. Emily Brand is so well drawn that I am still cheering for her; hoping she is out there somewhere, safe and working.

5.0 out of 5 stars If only it were true!, June 21, 2001
This review is from: Light-Source (Hardcover)
Emily is a physicist who has finally figured out how to power a large city using only the atoms from a glass of water. Nuclear Fusion. No more power crisis, no more outrageous oil prices. She is not after money or glory or fame, she just wants to build the machine. For a character to be antisocial, terribly shy, and a genius you would think that they would also be hard to care about. Bari Wood really brings Emily to life although she is all of the above. You cannot resist rooting for this woman because she is entirely unselfish and is determined to bring her discovery out because of what it would mean to the country and the consumer, not to herself. The Corporate Bad Guy is indeed bad, heartless and intelligent. The character of the President was very well done, appearing hopeless and helpless until you realized he was hiding intelligence and a steel determination. Emily's true nemesis, a boy she does not even remember from school grown into a unfeeling monster with a pathological need to hurt Emily for a perceived insult to him years ago, one she is completely unaware of having committed. The pace of this book is fast, the action never stops. The characters are very well filled out, some chillingly so as in the case of David. I highly recommend this excellent book!
