  <description>Sickly By Fate, Hero By Choice

Joe Vallone was a robotics expert with severe hemophilia. When he is fatally injured in a car accident, everyone he knows is thrust into a world of deception and treason. The truth about his survival sparks an escalating conflict between his aunt's Hippocratic oath and the military contractors chartered to restrict nanotechnology at any cost. Can Joe help bring nanotech to a diseased and impoverished world, or will the the attempt claim his life.

  <notes>BIO:

I am a 32 year old New York resident currently living in Queens. I am married with one son. I have enjoyed spending time telling, listening to, and creating oral stories. My experiences with the open source community, time spent as a computer professional, and my own varied experiences inspired my first science fiction thriller, Thicker Than Blood. I hope to continue this story as part of a four book series. </notes>
