Book Description:
When people start dying of unexplainable symptoms in Los Angeles, the government turns to Biodefense, a top-secret agency against bioterrorism. For the five members of the team, what they thought could never happen has come to pass: a nanotechnological weapon of mass destruction has been set loose. And one thing becomes all too clear to Biodefense's Alan Thorpe: the virus was developed and spread here--by a sleeper cell within our own borders--and no one knows how to stop it.Members who requested this book also requested:

Sarah F. from DALTON, GA wrote on 1/18/2007...Very relevant story especially with all the terrorism in the world today.
Good Read on "What if?" Bio-terror scenario.
Tammy S. from MARYVILLE, MO wrote on 9/10/2006...This book was too technical for my taste.
At the start of Dr. Anderson's thought-provoking debut medical thriller, people are dying in Los Angeles from what appears to be a new, unknown virus. At the same time, a Web site in Indonesia warns of Allah's "nanodeath" holocaust: "His nanomachines cannot be stopped until they have destroyed every American man, woman, and child." A team of scientists spring into action to trace the origin of the bug, finding what appears to be "a microscopic machine that can reproduce itself... essentially an artificial virus." Casualties begin to mount while the team struggles to catch up; meanwhile, politicos in Washington make plans to use the attack as grounds for military action they had already been seeking to carry out.
Lance F. from E LIVERPOOL, OH wrote on 10/30/2005...A very cool book. A very cool plot. If u like computers and u like reading about the threat of computer viruses, this book is for you.
Timely bio-terrorist plot, with a new and creepy idea.
