THE GOLIATH STONE by Larry Niven and Matthew Joseph Harrington
317 pages
Summary: A visionary tale from Larry Niven and Matthew Joseph Harrington. The
year is 2052 and Dr. Toby Glyer has effected miracle cures with the use of
nanotechnology. But Glyer's controversial nanites are living things--a new
form of life--and they have more uses than just medical. They also have the
potential to make everyone on Earth rich from the wealth of asteroids ... if he
can control them. Unfortunately, as every parent learns, when you produce a
new, thinking being, the plans it makes are not necessarily your plans. And
when a two-hundred-gigaton asteroid that rivals the rock that felled the
dinosaurs is hurtling toward Earth on a collision course, you don't have time
to argue. Will Glyer's nanites be Earth's salvation or destruction?
Comments: All pages, page numbers and chapter headings have been counted and
formatted. Spell Check has been run and all indicated words were checked
against the print book.
