“Riveting.” –David Brin
The nanotech was intended to save lives. Instead, it killed five billion people, devouring all warm-blooded lifeforms except on the highest mountain peaks.
The safe line is 10,000 feet. Below, there is only death. Above, there is famine and war. Mankind’s final hope rests with a scientist aboard the International Space Station… and with one man in California who gambles everything on a desperate mission into the ruins of the old world…
Amazon Reviews:
“A grim and gritty near future in which a nanite that eats flesh has escaped from a research lab and decimated the world. The very small silver lining on this very dark cloud is that it can’t function and breaks down above a certain elevation, so tiny pockets of humanity exist on mountain tops, slowly running out of resources and going through the expected horrors of surviving in isolated communities where hunger and desperation has had a devastating effect on civilized behavior. These few survivors can make quick runs down into this “invisible sea” however, scavenging as quickly as they can before they feel the burning sensation that indicates the nano-plague has found them and started feasting. At which point they have to hightail it back uphill before they loose too many pieces. After a few of these runs, you really start to show it. The novel is gruesome, dramatic, exhilarating, and, would make a great film. Highly recommended.”
“The plot of this book is fresh and innovative. The characters are very well-written. Carlson has written not just an adventure yarn, but a smart story that is challenging and plausible. Read the book, then listen to Recorded Books’ version with Richard Ferrone narrating…brilliant!”
