An absolutely stunning book which had me on the edge of my seat most of the time! The story is centred around a medical research company that had discovered a cure for many age related diseases which also included life prolonging possibilities. Naturally money and power got involved to protect the research from the general population. This resulted in a number of deaths and power struggles from the very top. I loved the whole book - Ian C P Irvine is a first rate author. ( )
