Publisher Comments:

Nanotech promises all things: Immortality, invincibility, wealth beyond imagination--and the utter destruction of Mankind. One man has it-and no one knows who...

Mitchell Swain is the richest man in the world--until he announces the "ultimate technological breakthrough." The world stops for the press conference-and sees him assassinated.

No one knows what he was going to say.

Almost no one.

Jennifer Rayne intends to find out. A leading journalist covering high-tech, she was scheduled to interview Swain after the press conference. Instead, she investigates his murder.

What she finds is a scientist to whom Swain has funneled billions...

A desperate U.S. government following the same clues...

And a bizarre technology which promises invincibility, immortality, and the ability to destroy any enemy--or the earth itself.

Mankind has entered the final arms race.

It will last two days.

As this breathlessly fast-paced nanothriller unfolds, readers are taken on a stunning tour de force of nanotechnology's promises and perils--until the fate of the earth itself hangs in the balance...

* Winner of Nanotechnology Now's Editor's Choice Award *
