Description
Tom Shaw, the mild-mannered CEO of Pure Industries, a small pharmaceutical lab in California, is wracked with worries: a terminally sick wife, a distraught young son, and a business on the verge of collapse.
But these dwindle into insignificance when Dr. Rachael Leo, his young but brilliant chief scientist, informs him that she has made the greatest discovery in the history of science.
Following a simple accident in the lab, Pure Industries has discovered the Elixir of Life, the news of which releases a firestorm of violence and treachery which penetrates to the very heart of the US Government.
There are currently over one hundred labs in the US alone trying to devise an antidote to the process of human aging. Elixir is a fast-moving, powerful, and thought-provoking thriller that imagines what might happen if one of them actually succeeded.
Praise for Elixir by Phil Cleary"An explosive thriller that reframes mankind's dream for immortality into a global threat greater than AI."
The European
"Netflix and Hollywood take note: this provocative novel is pure dynamite."
The London Economic
"An intelligent and unsettling page-turner."
Chris Riches, Daily Express
"A perfectly calibrated thriller."
