Progeneter II

What would you do for a drug that enables you to live 250 years? Though tripled lifespans sound fantastic, what would extra-long life mean for a planet already headed for disastrous overpopulation-10 billion people by the year 2050 according to the United Nations? In the two-book PROGENETER set, this is the scenario presented, except that a new medical discovery means the number of humans will grow even faster if people can buy longevity, and they would, despite downsides: starvation, pollution, economic and social strife of unimaginable proportions. Ignoring the negatives, the head of a multinational drug company wants the drug for the money, for the power, and for personal reasons of a more sinister nature. And he will go to any length to secure it.
