NEW YORK – In 1955, two years before the Soviets launched the first artificial Earth satellite, Sputnik 1, Leonid Poltava published his Ukrainian spy-novella “Will the Sun Rise Tomorrow” (Chy Zijde Zavtra Sontse). Captivating readers with cloak and dagger cliffhangers à la Tom Clancy or Ian Fleming, his narrative also explored serious concerns about tomorrow’s technology, foretelling a time when energy supplies of gas, oil and even uranium are almost exhausted, and parched food harvests loom. All told, “Will the Sun Rise Tomorrow” was a brave look into the future by an accomplished story teller.
