Real Med Nano, a New Book, & Huge Sci Fi Series Event
It’s been a while since I’ve had a new release of my own to share with you, and I am stoked about this one.
Dagger’s Edge has been a long time coming — three years, to be exact. It’s the long-awaited completion of the main story arc in the Biogenesis universe.
Dagger’s Edge is roughly 30,000 words, a 150-page novella. And it’s up for preorder now on Amazon. The print book will be available to order on September 27, through every major bookseller.
The story picks up right where Chiral Justice left off, and it ties up one big loose end. You’ll see many familiar faces in this tale, including a certain chatty ferret and a grouchy, steak-loving hunting cat.
Huge Science Fiction Series Event
Are you in need of a good book? Thirty-five different authors have come together to offer you a sampling of science fiction, from dystopian to humor, hard SF to milSF.
Go give it a look. You might just find your next favorite read!
Now, about that medical nano…
Having worked in medical physics for several years, I have a keen interest in nanotech applied to the human body. You’ve seen it in virtually every book I’ve written in one form or another. You see it in almost every SF book or near-future technothriller.
In some cases, it’s already in use, (though it still sounds very much like science fiction). One example of that is the chiral supraparticle I wrote about in The Chiral Protocol.
A supraparticle is a very compact collection of nanoparticles often formed into a shell to serve as a delivery system for other medicines. This shields the drug, preventing it from being released prior to arriving at its target within the body. And since it’s chiral, your body won’t recognize it or reject it.
Science fiction? Nope, science fact. So it this:
Nanotech, inserted into lifesaving organs that have just been donated.
A novel technique using nanotech has just been developed, and it sounds pretty cool. (That’s a bad dad joke, by the way, as you’ll soon see…)
Keeping organs viable between donor and recipient is critical for organ transplants. Researchers at the University of California have figured out a way to make that even easier — and to extend the lifespan of the organs donated — by using magnetic nanoparticles to rapidly and evenly warm human tissue so that it’s ready for surgery.
Science fiction, meet science fact.
You can read more about it here.
On the book writing front, I’ve begun drafting the outline for Battlefield Diplomacy 3: Insurrection, and the Physics Cats™ are taking turns supervising.
Or maybe they’re just sleeping on the job.
As always, thanks for stopping by the Speakeasy and hanging with me for a few!
Fair skies & tailwinds,
