An alien invasion...or nanotechnology run amuck? The crew of Moonbase Columbus makes an amazing discovery on the far side of the Moon-a massive alien structure is erecting itself, built up atom by... This description may be from another edition of this product.
If you want to read some of Kevin J Anderson's books I would highly recommend starting with this one!! This book was nominated for a, very much deserved, Nebula award in 1994. The basic story line involves a human moonbase crew discovering alien construction of some sort on the moon. They try to unravel the purpose of the construction while having to deal with a trigger happy military that is eager to destroy it before it can harm the Earth. This is a very good read, quite the page turner!!

This was a very fun story. Nanotechnology has always been a fascinating topic.. the potentials are amazing. Harnessing a story around the technology is sure to be a lot of fun.And Anderson/Beason do not disappoint. Their basic approach is that mankind is on the edge of understanding nanotech, but not there yet.. and this can lead to disastrous consequences. When they are presented with alien nanotech.. and these aliens DEFINITELY know what their doing.. our ignorance and initial fumblings create a uninterrupted tension. I'm a sucker for conclusive endings.. and this story doesn't have one... and I applaud them for it. It fits the story. You'llenjoy the story, don't worry.
Best Pure Science Fiction book I've read in years.
