When the movie Fantastic Voyage (1966) was released,Asimov had been hired to do the novelization,which he himslef was not completely satisfied with.Twenty-one years later (1987) he rewrote the story,keeping only the central concept of miniaturized scientists entering a human body; to enter a human brain so that they can retrieve memories from a comatose colleague.It is not a sequel to the film.
Albert Jonas Morrison,a 21st century neurophysicist,and otherwise an ordinary and unheroic man,is kidnapped and taken to the Soviet Union.
A major Soviet scientist,Pyotr Shapirov,is in an irreversible coma,and Morrison's special expertise could be of value.The Soviets believe that Morrison may be able to apply his controversial theories to retrieve vagrant thoughts that still may be floating in Shapirov's damaged brain and so provide clues to important work in which Shapirov was engaged. Morrison goes cold with fear because the plan calls for him to be miniaturized along with four Soviet scientists to a sub-molecular size,and introduce them into Shapirov's body and, ultimately,into his brain.
