THE SERPENT’S EMBRACE
A Novel of Immortality, Power, and the Limits of Human Conscience
A groundbreaking discovery in genetic science promises to end aging — but unleashes a storm of power, ethics, and ambition. In a world where immortality becomes a weapon, one man must confront the cost of playing God. Bold, cerebral, and haunting, The Serpent’s Embrace explores the future we’re not ready for.
“We sought to conquer time — and lost the map to our own humanity.”
— Dr. Eloise Hartmann, Bioethicist & Author of “The Price of Progress”
“The moment we touched eternity, everything else became disposable.”
— Mark Leland, Fictional Reviewer, The Scientific Observer
The Serpent’s Embrace
A Thrilling Genetic Conspiracy Awaits!
A psychological thriller about a scientist who discovers the anti-aging gene and sells his soul for immortality.
“Highly principled, visionary cancer researcher Richard Trent discovers what he believes is the anti-aging gene. He resolves to develop a genetic cure for heart disease, strokes, Alzheimer’s, and all the other diseases of aging.
But his claim is sabotaged by his university department chair, whose own biotech company is bankrolled by a pharmaceutical corporation that would face disastrous losses if a cure for aging diseases were freely available.
Dismissed from his university post, Richard resolves to prove that he is right. Enter the entrepreneur Maria Snowe, half Maya Indian, who is revered by her Maya retainer as the reincarnation of the serpent goddess Ixchel. Maria tempts Richard with the means to revolutionize medical science—subject to one condition. That condition shocks his assistant Lucy Jonnsen.
Richard discovers that Maria’s agenda goes way beyond what he imagined.
As apparently accidental deaths of people involved in his work increase, Lucy battles with Maria for Richard’s soul as each step he takes involves an ever greater sacrifice of his integrity until he is forced to choose between scientific immortality at an awesome cost or the death of his dream.”
