All it takes to change
the world is one visionary—and a team
of people to keep him alive.
Kevin Heber had it good. He had his own lab, a colleague he could trust, and an idea that could make him millions. Using his father's breakthrough technology in direct neural interfacing, he and his friend Taki have created a new entertainment media—live action adventure in micro mechanical scale. Bug Park: The ultimate out of body experience. And Taki's uncle wants to take it public.
Two problems:
- Kevin and Taki are teenagers.
- Somebody wants to squash Bug Park dead, and Kevin's father along with it.
When you're a teenager, even a teenager with a rich, indulgent parent, you don't have a lot of power. But when things get very small, the rules change. Physics changes. What every body knows, ain't so, the weak are mighty, and the mighty and the powerful can be brought down by those they thought they've already trodden underfoot. And even those who think they own the world can learn the hard way that innocence is not another word for "stupid,"

Product ReviewI liked this one. The main characters are teenagers, but though I am well out of my teenage years, alas, I still very much enjoyed it.
The scientific ideas are interesting, and the plot is good. I felt like I identified with the characters a lot.Posted on

Product ReviewA fantastic book with an interesting plot. Suitable for juveniles and adults alike, this has the feel of a well thought out Tom Swift or Hardy Boys novel, with enough maturity to capture adult minds as well. I enjoyed every minute and this holds pride of place in both my electronic and physical bookshelves.

Product ReviewHogan's work is always excellent, but sometimes not to my taste. This is to my taste. Nothing very deep, but a real fun ride, and Hogan's discussions of the differences in physics at the 'bug park' level are the sort of exemplary 'hard SF' you would expect.
