Synopsis

A few dead bodies are a small price to pay in the quest for immortality.In 2025 America, it’s hardly news when a renowned octogenarian scientist dying of cancer disappears from a local hospice, but when Kansas City Star reporter Rich Azadian begins to dig, he discovers that other elderly scientists around the world have also vanished recently—all terminally ill and receiving the same experimental treatment from a global health company. His investigation leads him to the reclusive Noam Heller, a brilliant researcher exploring new technologies to reverse-age cancer and other cells. Using revolutionary stem cell treatments and snippets of DNA from rare, immortal Arctic jellyfish, his breakthrough promises the genetic equivalent of the fountain of youth.But when Heller is murdered and his lab destroyed, Rich and his girlfriend Antonia become targets themselves. With the local police and federal authorities failing to see the big picture, he realizes he must take matters into his own hands to survive and stop the killing. His only hope is to mobilize his network of brilliant misfits and infiltrate the vast and lethal race—among cutthroat corporations, national intelligence services, rogue scientists, and a mysterious international organization—to control the new technologies and perhaps the secret of life itself.

A book I never would have picked up on my own, but one that became more interesting, the deeper I got into the story.

I really enjoyed this book. I think the character was well written and I love how real his relationship felt with Toni. I couldn’t help but laugh with how Maurice acted in the end with the lab and didn’t get in trouble???! Also I feel like the villain in the story was very anticlimactic, I could use......more

Goodreads review by Melissa on March 13, 2017

Even though I didn't read its precursor "Genesis Code" this is just as good as a stand-alone novel(Although after reading this I definitely plan to read "Genesis Code.")
