Certainly the first novel about nano technology that I remember reading, and a very engaging one, I am not a fan of Michael Crichton, this is the first book I ever read. Great experience, I remember I read it in record time almost holding my breath through it.

I don’t mean to undermine the excellent work of the author Mr. Black, I commend his efforts to bring to light a very dark corner of the Nazi era and the sinister connections between German Nazi and world corporations, however personally I found this book too hard to read. I don’t want to be unfair, so I am not comparing this book to a William Gibson novel, I am comparing it to history books I read at university for history classes.
I appreciate the effort to bring proof of the theory and to document it, but even an historical book must “narrate” something and I found this one lacking on the “narration” style. I am thankful to the author because I had no idea of the relation between IBM ancestor company and Nazi german. It’s interesting to learn one more case where corporations show a complete lack of ethics when it come to making money – not that I needed any further proof.
