Publisher Description
Welcome to the territory. Leave your metal behind, all of it. The bugs will eat it, and they'll go right through you to get it…Don't carry it, don't wear it, and for god's sake don't come here if you've got a pacemaker.
The bugs showed up about fifty years ago--self-replicating, solar-powered, metal-eating machines. No one knows where they came from. They don't like water, though, so they've stayed in the desert Southwest. The territory. People still live here, but they do it without metal. Log cabins, ceramics, what plastic they can get that will survive the sun and heat. Technology has adapted, and so have the people.
Kimble Monroe has chosen to live in the territory. He was born here, and he is extraordinarily well adapted to it. He's one in a million. Maybe one in a billion.
In 7th Sigma, Gould builds an extraordinary SF novel of survival and personal triumph against all the odds.

Customer Reviews
Stunning
The book is a stunning view of a world both in ruin yet flourishing. Enough is left to the imagination to paint a vivid picture of the world and detailed enough to really give substance.
The only downside is the distinct breaks leaves something to be desired for a transition instead of roughly being thrust into a slightly different time. Something as simple as 6 months later would go a long way to cementing the time frame and overall coherence of the story.
Such a great adventure book
Absolutely love this book, I wish Gould would write a sequel. So creative, so engaging. have read it twice and each time couldn’t put it down!
Seventh sigma
I loved this book, I hope there is a sequel. I liked the Sensei/ uchi-deshi relationship and the inclusion of aikido and mediation in this book as an important tool to help oneself out in every day life. Fascinating read thanks Me Gould!
