Description
The breathtaking journey whirls readers into the fascinating worlds of forensics and cutting edge biotechnology where chilling conflict tests the human spirit. Elliott Sumner-world renowned forensic pathologist-believes the nightmare is over when the heads of seven Gilgamesh board members are found on stakes in a neat row on Mud Island. Hours later, their chairman dies at the end of a serial killer's knife. But three escape and find refuge in Cape Town, South Africa, where they are intent on resurrecting the sinister, secret society and its century-old mission to control mankind's greatest evolutionary leap. Dr. Enrique Medino-a brilliant anti-aging geneticist- uncovers a secret to life with profound implications. He dies mysteriously and his groundbreaking research is thought lost, until a portable hard drive is delivered to the mansion of billionaire patriarch-Albert Bell. The accompanying message is clear-Elliott Sumner must take the Medino biologic to the world. Doubting such fantasy, and reluctant to engage in a hopeless battle against the deadly legions of Gilgamesh, Elliott refuses to put at risk those most important to him. He resists but is soon pulled into a death spiral that confirms his worst fears. In a desperate bid to survive, Elliott embarks on a quest to crack the hard drive's code. If successful, the biologic must be produced and the world's population infused. As his doubts transform into wonder, Elliott assembles a cast of unlikely characters to accomplish their seemingly impossible mission.
