Review: Tom, you did justice to the young scientists that were involved, showing their intellect, frustrations, loyalty and passions. I was impressed with the way you handled the personal and professional sides of Willy's life, obviously so intertwined as insinuated in the Author's notes. This book, I hope is the first of many. Your style is very engrossing: Science, suspense and sensous. Not a bad mix. milt w.

Review: What a read! From the Author's Note to the end, Tom Knobel keeps the reader's interest and whet's the reader's appetite for more. Knobel's story makes you wish you were there to help Willy rescue his lover, contaminate the Nazi's supply of heavy water and escape the Nazi's SS. Willy was such an endearing character that even after finishing the novel you wanted to know more about how he recovered from radiation poisoning and how he got back to the United States. "Cross Sections" was a great blend of intrigue, science, history and love story. Thanks for the treat, Tom.
