M. A. Newhall M. A. Newhall Metro New York, Washington DC Thicker Than Blood is an original Science Fiction novel set in the near future. I conceived of and wrote this book with the intention of publishing it online under a Creative Commons license. Sickly By Fate, Hero By Choice Joe Vallone was a robotics expert with severe hemophilia. When he is fatally injured in a car accident, everyone he knows is thrust into a world of deception and treason. The truth about his survival sparks an escalating conflict between his aunt's Hippocratic oath and the military contractors chartered to restrict nanotechnology at any cost. Can Joe help bring nanotech to a diseased and impoverished world, or will the the attempt claim his life. 2005-12-29 2005-12-29 No ourmedia text ttb@thickerthanbloodthebook.com 2006-06-14 10:17:52 Thicker_Than_Blood
