Opis

"The last enemy to be destroyed shall be death," wrote St. Paul in his letters. But what if someone has already managed to defeat it? Unknown to the public, an ingenious biochemist, named Louis Picard, invented the ultimate anti-aging drug in 1981, that is known as Telomerax. The discovery of Telomerax eventually led to the collapse of society and the near-extinction of mankind, in the ruthless war that broke out. Survivors set out to design a new society, for the half-gods that individuals were becoming. An apocalyptic novel that can be happening, right now, "The Last Enemy" brings to light many issues that we face today, from the clash between the power of the state and the rights of citizens, to respecting our limits and controlling the human drive to push ourselves beyond those very limits.
