Nano

After a tumultuous year in which her mentor is murdered and her estranged father comes back into her life, Pia Grazdani, the embattled medical student from Death Benefit, decides to take a year off from her medical studies and escape New York City. Intrigued by the promise of the burgeoning field of medical technology and the chance to clear her head, Pia takes a job at Nano, LLC, a lavishly funded, security-conscious nanotechnology insititute in the picturesque foothills of the Rockies. Nano, LLC is ahead of the curve in the competitive world of molecular manufacturing, including the construction of microbivores, tiny nano-robots with the ability to gobble up viruses and bacteria.

But the corporate campus is a place of secrets. She's warned by her boss not to investigate the other work being done at the gigantic facility, nor to ask questions about the source of the seemingly endless capital that funds the institute's research. And when Pia encounters a fellow employee on a corporate jogging path, suffering the effects of a seizure, she soon realizes she may have literally stumbled upon Nano LLC's human guinea pigs. Is the tech giant on the cusp of one of the biggest medical discoveries of the twenty-first century—a treatment option for millions—or have they already sold out to the highest bidder?

Reseñas de la Crítica

Praise for NANO

“Excellent…a perfect protagonist for a thriller — gutsy, tenacious, expert in the martial arts and willing to take risks to get to the bottom of a mystery. NANO is one of Cook’s best.”

—Associated Press

“The scientific details are fascinating.” —Booklist

“Accomplished…”

—Publishers Weekly

Ummm ending???

Book was good until the abrupt ending which left story unfinished - needed more explanation to satisfy

Nano A command performance

As are most of Robin Cooks Books, Nano was riveting and kept me wanting more. The end was a little abrupt, however and left me wondering about the fates of the main characters.

Where is the next book?

This reads and ends like there was intent for a third book that never got written.. so ummm ya .. just ends abruptly ..

Too Bad, I really like Robin Cook, but this....

This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?

those who are having trouble sleeping

Has Nano turned you off from other books in this genre?

no

If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Nano?

all

Any additional comments?

Don't get me wrong, I really like Robin Cook, but I can't imagin how this got published (I know $$$). The theme was intended to be exciting, fast paced and all that, but it really fell flat. I feel that the actual story could have been told in about 30 minutes without all the fluff knitted in the mix. I will continue reading Cook, but I think before I waste any credits, I will wait for some reader reviews to come in.
The story starts out slow and boring, so I kept "reading", waiting for all the action and suspence to grab me and put me in the mix as only a fine author like Cook can do. Unfortunately, it just never happened.
Bottom line, unless you have a heart condition and can not take a lot of excitement, or maybe you have a hard time getting to sleep at nights, you could spend your hard earned credits on bigger and better reads.

don't bother
