Hardest title to pronounce so far.

The premise was extremely interesting, but I found the beginning of the book quite confusing. It didn't really seem to get going properly until about half way through. There were too many characters introduced randomly at the beginning, and it was hard to care about the deaths of Sadie's Dad and brother when we didn't even find out who they were until quite a bit later.

The action was choppy, with it jumping between the macro and the nano, and also between characters and scenes. There felt like there was always 100 things going on at once and I felt that it was too much. ( )

A true science fiction book about wars that are fought in the microscopic worlds ON people by genetically altered bacteria and nanobots. There is a secret battle going on to try and take over or kill all the world's leaders and our hero and heroine are thrown into it by their gaming ability and the deaths of family members who were funding the research. It is all very convoluted and the plot takes a while to settle down. Be warned,don't get too used to the characters that Grant sets up in the first few chapters because he then bumps a lot of them off in various gruesome nano ways.
The book is no "Gone" but it had enough science behind it to make it acceptable. ( )

Probably a 3 1/2 star rating. Good story but a lot of times I was bogged down by all the nano/macro dual perspective and it confused me. ( )
