Synopsis: Jack Forman recently lost his job as a computer programmer. He is eventually hired on as a consultant to his wife's company, Xymos Technologies. They've recently invented a way for nano-particles to reproduce themselves using bacterial processes. Unfortunately, some of the particles have gotten loose into the atmosphere and they are now reproducing on their own outside of the lab environment.

My Review: The science behind the book is a little suspect and often unbelievable which is a little unfortunate because it's such a critical portion of the book. It was generally easy to understand what was going on though and the book had plenty of suspense and twists.
