Small Miracles

by Edward Lerner

Small Miracles Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Garner Nanotechnology is developing nanotech-enhanced protective suits and autonomous first-aid nanobots.  Its 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 ODonnell, Brents best friend, cannot get past some of the changes.  This just isnt her friend, and she wonders whats gotten into him. 

With an Army field trial imminent and the companys future at stake, possible nanotech side effects arent something anyone wants to discuss.  The bad news is, Kims right.  Something has gotten into Brent - and he isnt the only one changing. 

If Kim cant stop them … maybe well all change.
