In such a riveting debut thriller by one of the leading researchers in nanoscience, the competition is on to stop the devastating proliferation of the ultimate bioweapon.When Nobel laureate Liam Connor is available dead at the bottom of 1 of Ithaca, New York's famous gorges, his research collaborator, Cornell professor of nanoscience Jake Sterling, refuses to consider it was suicide. Why would one of the world's most eminent biologists, a 86-calendar year old man in a sound body who survived some of the darkest days of the Second World War, have chosen to chuck himself off a bridge? And who was the mysterious girl caught on camera at the landscape? Soon it becomes clear a cache of supersophisticated nanorobots-each how big is a spider-has vanished from the deceased man's laboratory.Stunned by grief, Jake, Liam's granddaughter, Maggie, and Maggie's nine-year-old son, Dylan, try to put the bits collectively. They uncover ingeniously coded announcements Liam left behind pointing toward a devastating secret he gleaned off of the shores of war-ravaged Japan and carried for more than 60 years.What starts as a quest for answers soon leads to a horrifying series of revelations at the crossroads of biological warfare and nanoscience. At this dangerous intersection, a skilled and sadistic assassin, an infamous Japanese war lawbreaker, and a ruthless U.S. government official are all players in a harrowing game of electric power, treachery, and intrigue-a game whose success will hold the world's fate practically in the palm of his palm.
