Inherit the Earth

Second-Hand (Hardcover)

Excellent condition

In the twenty-second century, biomedical nanotechnology has given everyone in the world long life and robust health.

It is the New Utopia, and all live in the expectation that true immortality will soon be realized. But the achievement of paradise was not without cost.

The Plague Wars of the previous century have left the entire world much reduced in population, and all sterile. Humanity would have died out in a generation if not for Conrad Helier's invention of the artificial womb.

Now in the new world of the twenty-second century, Helier's son Damon, would rather forget his famous father and get on with his own life as a virtual-reality artist. But a shadowy terrorist group known as the Eliminators forces Damon to confront his heritage. The Eliminators have kidnapped one of Conrad's colleagues still alive, to expose Helier's role in the germination of the Plague Wars.

Thus begins a cat-and-mouse game pitting Damon against Interpol and the enormous corporate entities who control the biotechnology of the future, upon which everyone's life depends.
