Michael Grant is the author of the best-selling Gone series. He ratchets up his game to an even higher level of thrills with BZRK.
Grant's new science-fiction adventure is for older teens and is set sometime in the future.
Grant is a master at getting teens to keep turning the pages. His storytelling style and plotting go straight to the hearts of young readers who lap up modern fiction.
In BZRK, we live in a world where nanotechnology is conquering whole new areas. Nanobots can enter the human body through the eyes, mouth, nose and ears - and then work or investigate what's going on. Much of the plot takes place inside the body.
In the 1966 Hollywood movie Fantastic Voyage, a group of scientists are shrunk and injected into a human body. Grant has taken this idea and run out of the field with it.
