Lost City
Book 5 of the NUMA Files series
An enzyme discovered in the North Atlantic's Lost City formation appears capable of dramatically extending human life. Scientists attempting to study or harvest it begin dying, while a remarkably preserved body found in an Alpine glacier points toward secrets guarded for generations. Kurt Austin and Joe Zavala confront an immensely wealthy family whose pursuit of immortality connects the enzyme to a spreading algal threat. Pulpy and imaginative, this NUMA adventure suits readers who enjoy medical mysteries, remote laboratories, frozen evidence, French Alpine danger, and scientific discoveries whose promise of longevity attracts people willing to endanger the living.
