ARE THEY ALIENS . . . OR ANGELS? In the remote desert depths of the Middle East, archaeologist Lucy Morgan finds a seven-millennia-old tomb holding the bones of a mysterious being, but the price she pays for her discovery could easily be her life. Because somebody will stop at nothing to possess the secrets the tomb reveals. At the request of Lucy’s family, war correspondent Ethan Warner agrees to aid a desperate effort to find the young archaeologist, who was abducted shortly after her momentous discovery. While Ethan flies to Israel, police detectives in Washington, D.C., confront another baffling crime: a man who appears to have died of hypothermia in the sweltering August heat. And both investigations are leading straight to the same shadowy corporation . . . one with a bizarre goal that threatens not just Lucy’s life, but the fate of every person in the world.
In the spine-chilling tradition of Michael Crichton and James Rollins, the second Ethan Warner thriller is an action-packed blockbuster that combines science, suspense, and ingenious speculation. WOULD YOU KILL TO LIVE FOREVER? When the body of a gunshot victim rolls into the Santa Fe morgue, it should be a day like any other for medical investigator Lillian Cruz. Yet upon examination, the corpse appears to be over a hundred years old with smallpox scars, and an odd wound protrudes from the victim’s leg. Lodged in the femur, under decrepit scar tissue, is a bullet shaped like a musket ball. The bullet looks like it was fired during the Civil War and had remained in the victim’s leg ever since. Rattled by the discovery, Cruz instructs her assistant to take specimens to the state authorities immediately and not to tell a soul about it. Minutes after the assistant leaves, the lights go dark in the morgue and Cruz is kidnapped. The Defense Intelligence Agency calls in former war correspondent Ethan Warner and his partner, Nicola Lopez, to discreetly investigate the disappearance. And very quickly, a relatively simple case turns into something much more sinister. With each new lead they uncover, Warner and Lopez are inadvertently bringing a warped and dangerous individual closer to achieving a catastrophic goal: immortality. In the spine-chilling tradition of Michael Crichton and James Rollins, Immortal is an action-packed blockbuster that combines science, suspense, and ingenious speculation.
