Description
As a film director, Wes Craven gave you nightmares and made you scream. As a novelist, he'll thrill you with a shocking tale born in cutting-edge science and bred in eternal fear.
Hope for an ingenious superweapon is dying as physicist Peter Jance's health fails. But with one brilliant, controversial, and top-secret operation, new life is granted:
...to the U.S. military's dream defense system,
...to a torrid love triangle transcending time and memory,
...and to a cold and unspeakable government conspiracy to create an elite circle of immortals.
