Book Description:

Alexander Shoaler and Kaffia Lang grow up in the years following a second civil war in America. The nation still rumbles with political turbulence as the restored government tries to uproot what the prior regime planted.

Dr. Straff, the nanotech visionary hides from justice in a small New Hampshire town. He's universally reviled for rising to importance with the prior regime...

When Americans thought of Dr. Ernest Straff, they thought of bodies stacked next to dumpsters in alleyways, EKG alarms blaring from crowded hospital rooms, technicians draining corpses into blood-type bags and selling it off to high-bidders.

Dr. Straff has made recent technological breakthroughs, and there are some who have not forgotten old debts or see the restoration of their former power in the new technology the old doctor has developed.

Follow Alex's struggle to save Kaffia's life, dodging death squads, and negotiating with the sadistic Chairman of the Rost Institute for the release of one of the worst of the prior regime's mass-murderers.

Chris wrote Nanowhere for the young adult fiction market, which means the torture consists of various methods of bone breaking without getting into the truly revolting stuff. (Just kidding. Some of it is revolting).
