This is the first novel by Herman Wouk for me and I must say that I really liked it. When the Chinese beat the US to the Higgs boson, astrophysicist, Guy Carpenter gets caught up in the hoopla and has to appear before a congressional hearing on possible charges of a breach in national security. His relationship with the top Chinese scientist and his secret post office box, get him in water with his wife.

There's a lot going on and when the talk involves the superconduction super collider, it gets rather technical. I didn't understand the half of it but it didn't have any impact in my enjoyment of the story.
