This is an average story. It is good, well written and easy to read. There are multiple threads intertwined, some of which are just parallel stories from the main one, completely independent. The plot is about an ex-astronaut who applies some special abilities for the wellness of the whole human race, struggling against some big, evil corporations.
In the end, I don't know what I will remember of the story in a few months. Probably not much. (

Epigraph

Come lovely and southing death,
Undulate round the world, serenely arriving, arriving,
In the day, in the night, to all, to each,
Sooner or later, delicate death,
Prais'd be the fathomless universe,
For life and joy, and for objects and knowledge curious,
And for love, sweet love - but praise! praise! praise!
For the sure-enwinding arms of cool-enfolding death.

And death shall be no more; death, thou shalt die.

Dedication

This book is dedicated to that wonderful moment
on that historic day, March 12, 1971.

First words

Late in the afternoon of the longest day of the year a solitary man drove a sleek electrically-powered sports car southward from the city of Lima.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0812532368, Mass Market Paperback)

Keith Stoner lay frozen in an alien spacecraft for fifteen long years; during that time he came to be something more than just an astronaut, just a man. Stoner became partly alien hismelf--merged with an alien intelligence embodied in the nanotechnology that lived inside Stoner's body.

The alien whose tomb that spacecraft was, brought humanity both a blessing and a deadly peril. The technology now the control of Vanguard Industries has changed the face of the earth. The technology that lives in Stoner's bloodstream will change mankind forever.

There are powerful leaders, both corporate and political, who are becoming aware of Keith Stoner and the power he seems to control. They want that power for themselves, and will do anything to gain it. Nothing Stoner can say or do will convince these ruthless men and women that the power they seek may destroy them utterly.
