review=Synopsis
Jason Nash just took over my life for a while, he's the brother of the title, and his sister, Nina, is a cybernetics scientist, working on computer chips implanted inside the human body. Jason is a pig, a wastrel, a liar and a very self confident hard drinking cheat. He has made his sister's life a misery, but it all comes back on him when she puts a chip in his neck, connected to his central nervous system, without his knowledge. It's a thriller based on very real science. During writing this book I spent time with Professor Kevin Warwick, the 1st human being to experience what it's like to communicate directly with machines by having a transponder chip inserted into his arm. He has since gone on to have a complex array of connectors joined directly to his nervous system. Weird but true.
Review of Brother Nature from the Amazon.com, Sept 22nd 2001
Excellent! I couldn't put the book down!! (5 stars)
After reading Robert's previous three novels I couldn't wait to get my hands on this one and I wasn't disappointed! It mixes sibling rivalry, awesome technology and military and corporate espionage to produce a novel which is an enjoyable yet thought provoking read - how soon could we all be seeing this chip technology and are the military already using it?
