THE GOLIATH STONE
Book ID/图书代码： 13005513B62663
English Summary/英文概要： Doctor Toby Glyer has effected miracle cures with the use of nanotechnology. But Glyer’s controversial nanites are more than just the latest technological advance, they are a new form of life—and they have more uses than just medical. Glyer’s nanites also have the potential to make everyone on Earth rich from the wealth of asteroids.
Twenty-five years ago, the Briareus mission took nanomachinery out to divert an Earth-crossing asteroid and bring it back to be mined, only to drop out of contact as soon as it reached its target. The project was shut down and the technology was forcibly suppressed.
Now, a much, much larger asteroid is on a collision course with Earth—and the Briareus nanites may be responsible. While the government scrambles to find a solution, Glyer knows that their only hope of avoiding Armageddon lies in the nanites themselves. On the run, Glyer must track down his old partner, William Connors, and find a way to make contact with their wayward children.
As every parent learns, when you produce a new thinking being, the plans it makes are not necessarily your plans. But with a two-hundred-gigaton asteroid that rivals the rock that felled the dinosaurs hurtling toward Earth, Glyer and Connors don’t have time to argue. Will Glyer’s nanites be Earth’s salvation or destruction?
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 托比•葛莱尔医生利用纳米技术制造出了神奇的自然药物。但是对葛莱尔有争议的是纳米机械不仅仅是最新的技术进步，他们是一个新的生命形式——他们比在医学上有更多的用途。葛莱尔的纳米机械也有可能使地球上的每个人通过丰富的小行星变富有。
二十五年前，布里阿柔斯的使命是带出纳米机械将其转移到越地小行星，并把它暗中毁掉，当它到达目标时就立即切断联系。该项目被关闭，技术被强行压制。
现在，大很多的小行星在与地球碰撞，布里阿柔斯的纳米机械也许要负责任。当政府仓促行动寻找解决方案，葛莱尔知道要避免世界末日，唯一的希望在于自己的纳米机械。继续行动，葛莱尔必须追查他的老搭档威廉•康纳斯，并寻找一种联系他们的任性孩子的方法。
就像每一对双亲所了解的，当你产生了新的想法，行使的计划不一定是你的计划。但是有与两百十亿吨的小行星相媲美的岩石，击倒恐龙疾速飞向地球，葛莱尔和康纳斯没有时间争论了。葛莱尔的纳米机械将是拯救或毁灭地球？（LNL）
