A story of sex, murder, religion and science set in a future all too conceivable.
It is 2062 and the world has changed. During the American presidential election of 2012, a nuclear exchange between Israel and Pakistan escalated to leave the world irradiated and hotter. The result was high childhood mortality and an International focus on genetic research to the exclusion of all else.
Damian Stear, a government official is married to Jo, an ambitious medical geneticist. Following a minor car accident, Damian is stalked by the other driver. The driver, a girl, wears blue contact lenses – the membership badge of a growing radical group – and she seems to know a lot about Damian. When the girl tries to kill Jo, but is killed instead, Damian’s life threatens to fall apart.
A whirlwind of treachery begins. Deceit and murder follow before Damian finally discovers that into the future world’s flammable mix has been added the dangerous spark of potential immortality.
And there one final twist to come.
