About this title

Review:

“Leaving the horror to the imagination rather than the TV studio’s special effects department has its benefits...”

From the Back Cover:

When the disease-ravaged body of Dr David Kennessy is found in the smouldering ruins of the DyMar genetic research laboratory, FBI Agents Fox Mulder and Dana Scully fear that a deadly manmade plague has been unleashed.

They discover that Dr Kennessy had been experimenting with microscopic bio machines, hoping to cure every disease and heal any wound. In theory his research might provide a miracle cure, perhaps even the doorway to immortality. It was also the only way Dr Kennessy could save his leukaemia stricken son, but when a second corpse turns up, savagely mutilated from within, Mulder and Scully must ask whether the machines created to cure have learned to kill.

As relentless sinister forces close in, desperate for the secrets of immortality, Scully fights to save the life of an innocent boy, while Mulder comes face to face with a man whose slightest touch brings agonising death – and perhaps a resurrection more horrible still.
