Produktbeschreibung

Scientists must stop nanites from driving an asteroid into Earth in this "brilliantly crafted... edge-of-the-seat thriller" ( Kirkus Reviews, starred review). Twenty-five years ago, Doctor Toby Glyer and William Connors made a revolutionary breakthrough in nanotechnology. Their controversial nanites were capable of everything from miracle cures for the terminally ill to AI for asteroid-mining missions. But when the nanite-run Briareus mission to divert an Earth-crossing asteroid dropped out of contact soon after reaching its target, the entire program was shut down and the use of nanotechnology forcibly suppressed. Now a much, much larger asteroid is on a collision course with Earth-and the Briareus nanites may be responsible. While governments scramble to find a solution, Doctor Glyer knows that their only hope to avoid Armageddon lies in the nanites themselves. On the run, Glyer must track down Connors and find a way to make contact with their wayward children before a two-hundred-gigaton asteroid smashes into Earth. Will Glyer's be Earth's salvation, or destruction? Praise for The Goliath Stone "A fast read, filled with fascinating characters and mind-binding concepts. I should have worn a crash helmet." -Larry Bond, New York Times-bestselling author of Shattered Trident "A future so brilliantly rendered that it feels shockingly real. This stunning book is Niven at the absolute top of his game, a surefire award winner and fan pleaser." -Whitley Strieber, New York Times-bestselling author of The Grays "A rollicking good time." - Publishers Weekly (starred review) "With witty dialogue and laugh-inducing prose, this is an incredible fun read, sure to entertain SF fans." - Booklist
