Nano man is set in a cut-throat world where big business has
taken over from the government. Ruthless companies will do anything to thwart
the competition. Jane Macelvey is a bio chemist, struggling to keep her research
secret. Then Mike comes into her life and he claims he wants to protect her.
She injects him with her serum of Nano bots and Mike becomes something neither
of them could have predicted. As the corporate foot soldiers close in on them,
bodies start to pile up. Mike and Jane are now on everyone’s radar.
I did like the character of Mike, he is part hot blooded
male, part robot. Even as the Nano-bots play havoc with his system, he can’t
fail to wise crack. The banter between him and Jane provide a lot of the
humour. This is an overblown futuristic comic book tale of greed and technology,
but it is also a satire on our current times. I think fans of comic books and sci-fi
will like this, especially if you don’t mind graphic violence. I understand
this is part of the genre, but I found the at times sadistic violence somewhat
hard to digest. But if you don’t mind a gang of red necks being flattened by
their own truck, this is the book for you. Well written, original and action packed.
