Reseña del editor:

Remember when you said you never wanted to grow up?

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.

"Best science fiction book of the year."(Books, Books, and More Books)

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.

GENETICALLY ENGINEERED UTOPIA

In the year 2040, medical science finally discovers the secret to achieving immortality and eternal youth.

But it comes with a catch—in order to preserve everyone’s youthful vitality they must undergo an operation before passing into adulthood that locks their body in the form of a pre-adolescent eleven year old.

Under the auspices of the United Nations Global Longevity Initiative led by brilliant neurosurgeon Dr. Richard Ross, the program promises a peaceful utopian society where emotionally and intellectually mature juveniles rule the world.

WOULD YOU WANT TO LIVE FOREVER..

But not everyone is happy with the new arrangement—a small but passionate group of zealots from the Garden of Eden church, led by the mercurial Calvin James, plots to overthrow the new regime and return the world to its natural order.

Starting with a shocking revelation at the end of the first chapter, the peaceful utopian premise is quickly upset through a series of sinister schemes and escalating medical complications, where suddenly the world finds itself on the brink of imminent extinction.

IF IT MEANT YOU NEVER GREW UP?

Building to an exciting climax, Dr. Ross and his endocrinologist girlfriend must find and save the one remaining adult female Queen, whose mature eggs represent the final link to the continuity of the human race.
