The Cicada Prophecy
FOR A SMALL PRICE, ANYONE CAN BE IMMORTAL.
WELCOME TO THE BRAVE NEW WORLD.
Dr. Richard Ross has discovered a miracle cure for aging. But it comes at a price. Everyone who wants eternal youth must undergo an operation before passing into adulthood that locks their body in the form of a preadolescent youth. When seniors die off, immortal juveniles rise to power and take over the world.
But not everyone is happy with the new arrangement. A group of rebels from the Garden of Eden church plots to overthrow the new regime and return the world to its natural order. When juveniles suddenly begin rapidly aging, the entire population is set on a course of imminent extinction.
Building to a chilling climax, Dr. Ross and his endocrinologist girlfriend must find and rescue the one remaining person who carries the genetic link for saving the human race.
A mind-bending technothriller based on Nobel prizewinning research.
Warning: Most of the characters in this story, although chronologically advanced in years, inhabit the bodies of preadolescent youths. If you're uncomfortable with the idea of such juveniles engaging in adult behaviors, do not read this book.
