Description
The Longevity Chip is a marvel of biotechnology-an implant that slows
aging and ensures virtual immortality. It's safe, affordable, and
guaranteed. Thousands have been sold, and thousands more are in
production, quickly making New Life Incorporated the wealthiest, most
powerful corporation on the globe. The fountain of youth, it seems, has
at long last been found. But the Resisters aren't buying it; they
suspect the Chip has some guarded, secret purpose, and seek the truth
of its design. Still, truth often comes at great cost-as their
increasingly violent confrontations with the Lifers, who defend the
source of their newfound "salvation," attest. As far as Joe Ramsey is
concerned, he'd just as soon stay out of it. But when he inadvertently
thwarts the assassination of a key Resister, Joe is thrown headlong
into a tangle of deceit, treachery, and intrigue that may prove New
Life CEO Caleb Walker the most dangerous man on earth.
Praise and Reviews
Not Run of the Mill
All in all a good story with the classic good vs evil without having
the run of the mill plot. The reader will be treated to phrases and
characters that will stick with them long after the last page has been
turned.
-J. Grove
Sci-Fi and Romance--A Great Read!
The warmth and humanity of Maria Hooley's characters shine against the
dark, cold Dal-Worth city and the evil Lifers. I, too, am a Resister.
Janie Lytle
What An Interesting World
This novel is quite different from the others I've read by Hooley. It's
darker, grittier, and starker, yet despite this harsh setting so
divided by Lifers and Resisters, there is a sense of humanity and an
exploration of what it means to be human and alive.
