Synopses & Reviews
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.
Review
"Small Miracles continues a theme author Edward M. Lerner has pursued in other novels like Creative Destruction. He has proven himself a master of weaving intricate tales about future possibilities. Be ready to curl up with this great book and not put it down until it's done." Curledup.com
Review
"Suspense and action enough to fuel any thriller, and even to drive it to the big screen." SFrevu
Review
"Lerner ends his thought-provoking novel with a classic SF twist. I highly recommend Small Miracles to anyone interested in relatively near future SF, and in the fascinating possibilities of nanotechnology." Hilary Williamson, BookLoons.com
Synopsis
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.
