Fast read - very interesting story. This was a good one!

Interesting premise about discovering a plant that is basically the fountain of youth. But the author, running into some deadends in his story, comes up with some unbelievable plot contrivances to get his main character out of trouble. The book had promise and includes some great suspense, but ultimately fails to live up to the intensity at the beginning of the book.

Although this book dragged in places, I thought the premise was good and the characters were compelling.

When biologist Chris Bacon headed for the unspoiled rainforests of Papua New Guinea in search of medicinal plants, he had no idea that he would bring home a rare flower rumored by a tribal shaman to prevent human aging. Driven by fountain-of-youth dreams, he plans to turn the flower into an elixir of youth and health.

But as Chris begins tampering with the ultimate secret of nature, he unleashed forces that not only threaten his own family, but expose the world to unimaginable horrific consequences.
