 _June's book_*
\n
\nThe first book is The sun and moon corrupted\, the bran
 d-new book from Philip Ball. A young journalist\, Lena Romanowicz\, goes in
  search of Karl Neder\, a provocative physicist whose discovery of a new en
 ergy source made him an outcast. In order to find him she must follow his t
 rail from the castles of Transylvania to the rocket labs of NASA\, from Vie
 nnese cafés to the blasted borderlands of the Soviet Union. But as Lena ch
 ases his story across the world\, she is also trying to outrun the buried m
 otives that drive her.
\n
\nThe first fiction lab will feature a special ap
 pearance by the author of this month's selection. Philip Ball will drop by 
 after the main discussion to chat more about his book with the group.
