Nikko is the first true "post human"-a man genetically engineered
to survive in the airless void of space-but the research permit
that allows his existence is about to expire. His body has already
begun an insidious, pre-programmed failure that will end in his
death. Nikko's only hope for survival rides on an illegal and
extremely powerful nanotech device known as the Bohr Maker, that
will allow him to rewrite his genetic code and extend his life. He
attempts to steal the Maker from the archives of the Commonwealth
police, but his plan goes awry. The device escapes into the wild,
infecting a young woman named Phousita who lives in an impoverished
slum where nanotechnology is regulated only by the black market.
Phousita's genetic code is rewritten by the Maker. Her senses are
enhanced, and she gains extraordinary powers of healing, but like
Nikko she has become a fugitive. The Commonwealth police are on the
hunt, determined to sterilize all traces of the Bohr Maker before
it can be copied and spread throughout the population. Together,
Phousita and Nikko must evade a ruthless pursuit, both to preserve
their own lives and to save the Bohr Maker, which holds the promise
of re-defining humanity-for good or for ill.A brilliantly original,
fast-paced thriller, The Bohr Maker won the Locus Award for Best
First Novel. The Bohr Maker is Book 1 of The Nanotech Succession, a
collection of stand-alone novels exploring the rise of
nanotechnology and the strange and fascinating future that follows.
