Micro
Honolulu, Hawaii. In un buio stabile di periferia, ufficio di un piccolo avvocato del luogo, regna il silenzio. Tutto sembra in ordine. Se non fosse per tre cadaveri stesi sul pavimento. Sul loro corpo non ci sono segni di lotta, solo dei tagli piccolissimi ma profondi e letali. L'unico indizio trovato sul luogo del delitto è un minuscolo robot, quasi invisibile all'occhio umano, dotato di lame affilatissime. La polizia brancola nel buio. Quello che tutti ignorano è che la Nanigen Micro-Technologies, una società che si occupa di microtecnologie mediche, nella foresta hawaiana nasconde una base segreta, dove mette alla prova apparecchiature finora ignote alla comunità scientifica. Qui è in corso un'operazione rivoluzionaria dai finanziamenti occulti, tesa a studiare le infinite forme di vita di cui brulica il sottobosco per sfruttarne le risorse a scopo medicinale. I dirigenti della Nanigen sono pronti a uccidere chiunque metta i bastoni tra le ruote a questo investimento miliardario. Ma per i loro laboratori hanno bisogno di reclutare nuovi, ignari scienziati: un gruppo di dottorandi dell'università di Harvard capitanati da Peter Jansen, esperto di veleni, e Karen King, aracnologa. I sette giovani, una volta approdati alle Hawaii, si trovano catapultati di persona in un pericolosissimo esperimento scientifico, e costretti a fronteggiare una natura sorprendentemente ostile e sconosciuta.

First Light
Seven years before Richard Preston wrote about horrifying viruses in The Hot Zone, he turned his attention to the cosmos. In First Light, he demonstrates his gift for creating an exciting and absorbing narrative around a complex scientific subject--in this case the efforts by astronomers at the Palomar Observatory in the San Gabriel Mountains of California to peer to the farthest edges of space through the Hale Telescope, attempting to solve the riddle of the creation of the universe.Richard Preston's name became a household word with The Hot Zone, which sold nearly 800,000 copies in hardcover, was on The New York Times's bestseller list for 42 weeks, and was the subject of countless magazine and newspaper articles. Preston has become a sought-after commentator on popular science subjects.
