Grant Thornton was a scientist who took matter itself apart and put it back together again at the level of molecules. He wanted to rebuild the world using microscopic nano-machines. How could he know that his fascination with these infinitesimal wonders would inspire a group of very determined men to kill him.Ordwyn Summers knew exactly who she was -- a cop, just like her father before her. Eventually, she expected to die in the line of duty just like he did -- so she risked her life to protect Grant Thornton. Now the people who want Grant dead are after her too.And then there's Miles. Miles, who dared to dream of creating human life. Miles who wanted to understand who and what we are from the inside out and make us better than we could become in a thousand generations. Miles' driving belief in that dream inspired fanaticism in others -- others who consigned him to an unimaginable fate that has stretched across the centuries.An international consortium races to be absolutely sure that all three of them and their strangely congruent purposes are mercilessly extinguished. For reasons of his own, Miles has reached out with his vast powers and abilities, fueled by AI and nanotechnology, to shield Grant and Ordwyn. Now their lives, their very beings are inextricably intertwined and alloyed together in pursuit of Miles' ancient desire, a yearning that burns brighter than life itself.
