Children of the Atom by Wilmar H. Shiras

4.0

The obvious inspiration for the X-Men comics, which don't interest me much. No special effects or retractable laser claws here, just an interesting idea- some brilliant teenagers (all mutated in the womb by their parents' work at Oak Ridge) gathering on a farm/boarding school, with good intentions of leading the rest of us to a brighter, better nuclear future. 1953 must've been awesome: 'Better Living Through Chemistry' and all that.
