About The Yamanaka Factors A Thriller
Fall 2028. Mickey Cooper, an elderly homeless man, receives an incredible proposition from a rogue pharmaceutical company: "Be our secret guinea pig for our new drug and we'll pay you life-changing money, which you'll be able to enjoy because if (cough) when the treatment works, two months from now your body will be youthened to twenty-three years old." When his treatment proves more difficult than expected and corporate espionage turns deadly, Mickey finds himself flanked by internal corruption and powerful external enemies, including Chinese operatives desperate to reverse their country's aging demographics and amoral U.S. government officials who fear the new technology will upend civilization. A nihilist at heart with a dwindling number of friends, Mickey yearns to fade into the woodwork to live in peace, struggling to remember what matters in life. An analog old-timer has no chance to win in the digital age anyway, right?
