Description

The Bohr Maker by Linda Nagata is a gripping thriller that explores the consequences of playing with the fundamental building blocks of life. In a world where genetic engineering has created a new class of super-soldiers, one man's existence is threatened when his research permit expires. Nikko, a genetically engineered being known as a "post-human", must rely on an illegal nanotech device called the Bohr Maker to rewrite his genetic code and extend his life. However, the device has escaped into the wild, infecting a young woman named Phousita who possesses extraordinary powers of healing. As they evade the ruthless pursuit of the Commonwealth police, Nikko and Phousita must navigate a complex web of power and corruption. With its brilliant originality and fast-paced action, The Bohr Maker is a thrilling ride that raises important questions about the ethics of scientific discovery and the consequences of tampering with human life.
