Chasing Immortality
When unlocking the key to eternal life unleashes titanic dangers...
Failing to save his wife from cancer, Daniel Mackenzie Powers (aka Mac) abandoned his career in cellular ageing and cellular resistance to cancer, for a career as a pop-science media personality. Now, he investigates and debunks scientific quacks and peddlers of dodgy medicines and technologies in a series of high-profile media interviews.
When the billionaire inventor Jefferson Caton invites Mac over to 'cover' his LiveForever Programme, he does so knowing Mac’s past research on telomeric regeneration may be the missing key.
Strangely, Caton’s own deputy, the beautiful Dr. Chloe Stevens shows up giving Mac dire warnings about the project, while Mac’s old university suddenly wants him back in order to secure massive research funding from a shadowy source.
But when Mac’s life is threatened and then saved by an anonymous unit of possible government agents who have their own dubious aims and motives, Mac finds himself the only person who can fully understand and balance the titanic dangers and opportunities which the LiveForever programme could unleash on the human race.
From those intent on uncovering the key to eternal life, those intent on thwarting it, and those whose humanity has already been destroyed in the quest, no one can be trusted!

How long do you want to live?
How long should you live?
Is it unnatural to live too long?
These and many other questions come to mind reading this intriguing short story.
It makes you stop and wonder about how science might change your world and the results may not be what every one wants.
Good read that should have been a full book not just a short story.
Hope it is enlarged into a full book soon!

Very interesting storyline - do you want to live forever. I’m hoping that there will be another book after this one
