So you're saying we won't be getting antimatter bombs any time soon?

Yeah, Digital Fortress was not good. Deception Point was much better.

Well it depends on your expectations, you can have an antimatter bomb that has enough yield to get a bacterium seriously annoyed.

Or double jeopardy to save the world. I lawled at that part.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

I read angels and demons too. I find his concepts are decent, but I find his writing is bad, research is sloppy, and I hate his characters.

He inspired me to plan my own physics based thriller. I always felt that one should do something like he does, but better.

Lol, you've just described the impetus for about 85% of the fanfiction I've started Tongue
