Ella should be grateful for everything she has in the year 2039.She lives in a climate-protected colony that shelters her from a bruised world, and her superior bio genome shows she is aging at half speed. Nevertheless, all around her, evidence points to the unsettling fact that older citizens like her are disappearing.When the Longevity Institute approaches Ella to contribute to their research, she knows it is a risk. A trusted friend warns her she could be the next to vanish, sold as pirated test tubes of longevity boosters to the highest bidder. In spite of this, she is restless to break out of her narrow life. While she travels down the reconstructed east coast to the Institute's advanced study, she must make her own decision as to what is true. Does she need to escape the Institute's tracking and take her chances in distressed surroundings? Is there a secret society that helps elders cut the thread of life?Days of Future Found is about finding courage when the waves of change never stop.The novel is set in a speculative future where the subtleties of a high tech society combine to embody the hopes of a unique array of characters.
