In an economically devastated world, Eric Condra is a jaded journalist with a chip on his shoulder. Used to covering organized crime, he’s been dumped to the science beat. The work is dull, until a groundbreaking story involving genetics falls in his lap.

But the technology involved has dark implications-and the geneticist responsible, Dr. Michael Waters, has vanished.

Eric’s investigation attracts the attention of a hit squad, as well as Dr. Waters’ former patient, Alison. She claims he cured her of a fatal virus, and that he’s hiding out in Nicaragua.

One step ahead of the assassins, Eric and Alison pick up the doctor’s trail. They discover Waters’ reckless experiment flirts with humanity’s extinction. In a race against time, Eric will have to make a fateful choice-sell himself out, keep the peace, and build a life with Alison . . . or go public and become the ultimate targets.
