Maxwell woke up in 2007 with a body riddled with cancer and a wife he adored. He wakes up today in a glass tube, his mind a fog of memories and his body rewritten into a vibrating wire of new muscle. Max is no longer the dying man he remembers--he is the first successful subject of Project Nanotech.

Dr. Beth Hathaway is the first kind face Max sees in two centuries, but the sterile, metallic scent of the research facility offers no comfort. As the nanites in his blood begin to 'ping' the facility's network, Max realizes he has become a confused titan of the future. But even as his cells rewrite themselves, his heart remains anchored to the past. Where is Sarah? Caught in a web of corporate greed and technological evolution, Max must navigate a world of Spacers and Kuiper Belt outposts to find the truth. When he discovers the terrifying 'Emotional Anchors' used to control him, his quest for answers turns into a mission of pure vengeance. In a future where humanity is a commodity, can one man reclaim his soul?

The First Subject is a high-stakes sci-fi thriller that explores the thin line between evolution and extinction. If you love character-driven suspense and technothrillers that pull at your heartstrings, you won't be able to put down this explosive series starter.
