Synopsis

In the near future the United States is one of a very few countries that still survives as a democracy, most of the others having fallen into anarchy or repressive oligarchy. LLE, Longevity Law Enforcement, is an elite squad of detectives granted special prerogatives and charged with enforcing the carefully constructed laws that govern the use of the Longevity process. When LLE’s top team, Chris, Livvy, and Louie, Chris’ unique, neuro-enhanced dog, investigates a brutal Syndicate of illegal labs trying to force its way into D.C., Louie finds key evidence that might help his partners crack the Syndicate’s power. If they can survive long enough. “Technological immortality is the prospect for much longer life spans made possible by scientific advances in a variety of fields: nanotechnology, emergency room procedures, genetics, biological engineering, regenerative medicine, microbiology, and others.” - “Immortality” in Wikipedia

About this title

About the Author

S.J. Hunter' science fiction is set in the near future and uses trends to project what might have an impact on the lives of the people who could be our grandchildren and great-grandchildren. For example, how are we going to deal with each other when some of us, and only some of us, can afford the genetic engineering that can offer us perpetual youth and near-immortality? In the words of one reviewer, her speculative fiction "adroitly juxtaposes action scenes with subtle social commentary and character development."
