Garner Nanotechnology is developing nanotech-enhanced protective suits and autonomous first-aid nanobots. It’s cutting-edge stuff, and when it saves Brent Cleary from a pipeline explosion that killed hundreds, the Army takes notice.
Near-death experience changes a person, so no one is entirely surprised when easy-going Brent turns somber and studious, focused and cold. Not at first. But Kim O’Donnell, Brent’s best friend, cannot get past some of the changes. This just isn’t her friend, and she wonders what’s gotten into him.
With an Army field trial imminent and the company’s future at stake, possible nanotech side effects aren’t something anyone wants to discuss. The bad news is, Kim’s right. Something has gotten into Brent – and he isn’t the only one changing.
If Kim can’t stop them … maybe we’ll all change.

Zustand: Very Good. When Brent Cleary, demonstrating a beta-test protective nanosuit to potential customers, gets trapped in a massive pipeline explosion, only the nanosuit saves him. Smart nanobots integrated into the suit will do whatever it takes to protect the wearer . The explosion kills hundreds. It's so destructive that-despite his protective suit-Brent suffers severe injuries. He needs first aid-and lots of it-that the bots scurry to provide . But once inside his body, what will the bots do? Will they continue in their mission to improve and repair? How does one repair the imperfection that is a human being? Where and when does the bots' mission end? Suspense and action enough to fuel any thriller, and even to drive it to the big screen.-SFRevu An intelligent blending of science fiction and horror themes.-Winnipeg Free Press Smart, engaging, and tight, with all the little pieces fitting together in the long run. Highly recommended.-Intergalactic Medicine Show. Artikel-Nr. 00080869656
