The nanotechnology was designed to fight cancer. Instead, it evolved into the machine plague, killing nearly five billion people and changing life on Earth forever.

The nanotech has one weakness: it self-destructs at altitudes above ten thousand feet. Those few who've managed to escape the plague struggle to stay alive on the highest mountains, but time is running out. There is famine and war, and the environment is crashing worldwide. Humanity's last hope lies with a top nanotech researcher aboard the International Space Station -- and with a small group of survivors in California who risk a daring journey below the death line...

Just did not hang together for me. Sounded like everyone was doubled dealing every one. Ending was just flat.

Initially I was taken aback by the story line. It built nicely and I enjoyed the writer’s style.

In the first chapter, Carlson wipes out nearly 6,000,000,000 people on the planet with the Nanotech plague. What follows is a wild ride between political powers and the few who wish to advance the technology to save humankind. Anyone who dives into this three book series is in for a wild ride.

“They Ate Jorgensen first.” Brilliant and spellbinding!

A nano tech plague is accidentally released and wipes out life below 10,000 feet elevation. It’s a memorable premise. The military versus civilian stereotype is not my favorite, but that didn’t ruin it for me. My favorite part is about high altitude survival. This book doesn’t get everything right, but at least it tries.

There is so much description and details that I found myself getting bored and lost in the story.
