Synopsis

Three Men Are Found Dead In A Locked Second-floor Office In Honolulu. There Is No Sign Of Struggle, Though Their Bodies Are Covered In Ultra-fine, Razor-sharp Cuts. In Cambridge, Massachusetts, Seven Graduate Students At The Forefront Of Their Fields Are Recruited By A Pioneering Microbiology Start-up Company. Nanigen Microtechnologies Sends Them To A Mysterious Laboratory In Hawaii, Where They Are Promised Access To Tools That Will Open Up A Whole New Scientific Frontier. The Group Becomes Prey To A Technology Of Radical, Unimaginable Power And Is Thrust Out Into The Teeming Rainforest. Armed Only With Their Knowledge Of The Natural World, The Young Scientists Face A Hostile Wilderness That Threatens Danger At Every Turn. To Survive, They Must Harness The Awe-inspiring Creative - And Destructive - Forces Of Nature Itself. -- Publisher's Description.
