John Robert Marlow understands both the science and the politics governing advanced technology. In his novel NANO, Marlow accurately depicts several future potentials of nanotechnology.

Where Michael Crichton uses extremely unlikely and largely debunked theories as the basis of his latest novel (Prey), when describing the potential of advanced nanotechnology, Marlow uses simple extensions of known science. NANO is a fast-paced, plausible techno-thriller, and destined to become one of the best of the best. I’d bet my last sawbuck that we’ll be seeing this one in theatres soon.

While Crichton fans will love this book, don’t mistake John Robert Marlow for Michael Crichton. Marlow employs cutting-edge technology in a believable manner, describing science within the bounds of the generally accepted. While NANO is techno-fiction, it could someday be techno-fact.
