On a boozy island base at the equator during the Cold War testing, a misfit military family seeks a place in history as pioneers on the nuclear frontier. In episodes told by Navy brat "Lucky," the base becomes witness to the nightmares of the tests and the coverup after Bravo, the 15-megaton H-bomb that in 1954 made downwind Marshall Islanders unwitting guinea pigs for the world's most devastating weapon. As the Americans grow numb to the deception and her family self-destructs.
Lucky escapes into her precocious sexuality with a man linked to the Marshallese through his love for and transgressions against them. The Last Night on Bikini is the debut of an extraordinary writer and a poignant narrative about the victims and survivors of America's perilous race for supremacy.
