Fraser Sherman graduated college with no particular idea what to do next, so he thought he'd try writing. He liked it. Since then he's worked as a reporter; published five books of film reference; and had more than two dozen specfic short stories published. Some of them have been collected in Atlas Shagged. Born in England, raised in Florida, he now lives in North Carolina with his amazing wife and two dogs. You can find him online at frasersherman.com or bogatyr5 on Twitter.
Atoms for Peace asks a simple question: what if the SF films of the 1950s had really happened?
The story starts in 1953, just a year after the Martians invaded and almost wiped humanity out. Retired OSS spy Gwen Montgomery discovers Martians aren't the only super-science threat we have to face when a dead half-lizard man shows up near her apartment.
In The Claws That Catch, dignified Boston doctor Danielle Taylor finds her hometown overwhelmed by an invasion of mutated lobster-men. It turns out that fighting on the front lines to save life is what she was made for.
In The Spider Strikes, Gwen —now a federal agent investigating rogue scientific research — gets unexpected help from Steve Flanagan, a two-fisted drifter hunting his possibly criminal brother.
Over the course of the 1950s Steve and Dani become a couple while Gwen and Steve become an investigative team. Their friendships and love affairs, along with the rest of the cast, play out against a backdrop where we're launching rockets to the moon in the 1950s, alien infiltrators can occupy high government positions, radiation creates a constant stream of mutated monsters and everyone on Earth knows their next day could potentially be their last.
There's love, danger, mystery and a little politics in the world of Atoms for Peace.
