The quest for power surges in Robert Ledham’s veins. The devious, rich, and connected vice president of the United States takes political prowess to the extreme after collaborating with a doctor whose research breeches medical ethics. Ledham constructs a network of corporate privilege and acquiescent subordinates, but can they be trusted?

Dr. Arlan, the implacable research scientist, discovers how to alter cells based on an individual’s DNA structure thus uncovering the possibilities for amazing cures or deploying the definitive personal weapon.

Speaker of the House, Karen Paulter and Secretary of State, Warren Mills get caught in political and personal tug-of-wars and form an alliance to thwart the efforts of pharmaceutical CEOs, Harlace Overland, Forrest Gilmore, and the Ledham family from using the medical innovation, one with the power to instill global chaos.

When President Hall, the imperious Virginian, changes the landscape with an Executive Order and an agreement with the Russians, greed and avarice lead the race to copy Dr. Arlan’s work. Scheming, wanton murder, and international crisis push scientists to break Dr. Arlan’s coded research while espionage, personal vendettas, and power struggles thrust the world to the brink of a moral cataclysm.
