About this audiobook

DARPA researcher Dr. Elena Ward is working on a classified autonomous nanotech project; a cure for everything. When the government stalls the project due to weaponization concerns, her team takes the project off the books, leading to a catastrophic failure that forces her to inject her prototype to survive. It does everything she ever dreamed and more, and her life cascades out of control. Now her eighteen-year-old son may be the only person who can save her — or stop her.
