Review:I loved this book. The thing I love about Michael Crichton is that he takes REAL scientific studies, theories, and practices and he throws them into "what-if" and often worse-case scenarios. This book follows both the enigma of bees and their behavior along with what we know about nanotechnology and computer programming. It's really a great thriller and it was a total page-turner.

Book descriptionIn 1956, an airplane crash left the remains of 172 passengers scattered among the majestic cliffs of the Grand Canyon -- including an arm attached to a briefcase containing a fortune in gems.

Former Navajo Tribal Police Lieutenant Joe Leaphorn is coming out of retirement to help exonerate a slow, simple kid accused of robbing a trading post. Billy Tuve claims he received the diamond he tried to pawn from a mysterious old man in the canyon, and his story has attracted the dangerous attention of strangers to the Navajo lands -- one more interested in a severed limb than in the fortune it was handcuffed to; another willing to murder to keep ...
