Publisher's Synopsis
What happens to society when bioengineering advances finally unlock the secret to immortality?
Throughout the entirety of history, humanity has fought against sickness, old age, frailty, even death itself hoping for eternal life. In the late 24th century, humanity has discovered the secret to immortal life, but at an extreme cost. What horrors await a society that rests an economy on the most scarce resource man has ever known -- eternal life?
The December Protocol follows three characters uniquely affected by the most amazing technological change humanity has ever experienced. Min, an ageless Earth-born marshal older than the very Martian colonies he fights to enforce a brittle and bleak law upon. Angeline, a young girl terrified by the social and scientific necessities prompted by the promise of eternal life. Marcus, a man brought to his knees by that emperor of all maladies, cancer, willing to pay the ultimate price for perfect health through immortality.
How far would you go if you had the opportunity to live forever?
