Dr. Richard Draman is trying desperately to discover a cure for a disease that causes children to age at a wildly accelerated rate—a rare genetic condition that is killing his own daughter. When the husband of a colleague quietly gives him a copy of the classified work she was doing before her mysterious suicide, Draman finally sees a glimmer of hope. The conclusions are stunning, with the potential to not only turn the field of biology on its head, but reshape the world. Soon, though, he finds himself on the run, relentlessly pursued by a seemingly omnipotent group of men who will do whatever it takes to silence him.

"I was excited to finally read something that kept my attention. Though I was almost put off by the beginning, I'm glad I kept going. I appreciated the characters, the fast pace, and the flow. Also enjoyed the partnership of Richard and Carly, husband and wife. They stuck with each other and worked through everything they needed to so they could help their daughter. Also enjoyed Burt in the mix and I thought he was a perfect outside addition to Susie's plight. Definitely a Good Read!"

" Kyle Mills took a turn on the type of book he usually writes. This is a medical thriller and is good but I miss his usual thriller. "
— Kay, 2/17/2014" Another fast-paced, engaging thriller about medical experimentation (this genre is fun to read). Again, fans of Michael Crichton and Scott Nicholson (like me) will like this a lot. "
— Brooke, 2/12/2014" I fine light read. Reasonably enjoyable. "
— Steve, 2/12/2014" The plot and characters were okay, the writing competent, but nothing inspired or particularly thoughtful. I'm certain I'll forget everything about it tomorrow. "
— Chance, 2/9/2014" Great ending. Von, you'll like this one "
— Paulette, 1/13/2014" Light entertainment for a holiday read. Bit rushed towards the end. Interesting idea and well thought out end result-the author obviously knows science. "
— Alyson, 1/7/2014" An engaging science fiction read with great plot twists. "
— Andrea, 12/16/2013" Robin Cook-lite. That's what I'd say about this book. Didn't really hold my attention, the main characters were lifeless and flat, and the intrigue wasn't nearly as intriguing as it should have been. "
— Lin, 12/6/2013" not a good book. Story was way too far-fetched. Very disappointing since I normally like Mills' work. "
— Ben, 12/4/2013" Good plot, lots of action, but slightly unrealistic in places. It is fiction, right? "
— Marianne, 11/22/2013" I read this as an Ebook. I want to read more of his work. "
