Description

In a near‑future world where humanity’s political machinery is divided between the towering Administration, Legislation & Order and the democratic Social Body, an unexpected diplomatic overture arrives from the alien Alcorians. Their gift— a repeatable process for true longevity—promises to upend the fragile balance of power, and the secret is locked behind the highest council’s closed doors.

Caught between idealistic technocrat David Locke and the calculating president of Transplanet Enterprises, Boyle, the story erupts into a tense chess game of betrayal and ambition. As Boyle maps out a daring coup to claim the immortal formula for himself, he must decide who to discard—friend, lover, or principle—in his ruthless pursuit of eternal life. The opening layers political intrigue, alien mystery, and moral conflict, setting the stage for a high‑stakes struggle that asks what one would give up to live forever.
