And what if finding it again could lift a species to all-new heights or threaten its ultimate extinction depending on who got to it first?

An incurable disease runs rampant and afflicts many, including the Princess of the most powerful Empire in the Conglomerate.

"Rick Krusky has an admirable knack for getting at the essence of his characters and a marvelous skill for moving a story forward.

I found to be entertaining, surprising, and even somewhat enhancing to my well-being, like the best art always is." - Steve Wagner

Krushky's plot is intricate and well woven together. The book has many similarities to a covid world. My only feeling of downside was I thought it ended abruptly.

"What if the cure to man’s deadliest disease were discovered but then lost" that was what hooked me in to read this book. It was a great scifi novel with interesting characters, I enjoyed that it was almost a space opera.

Love the premise! I always love reading a sci-fi/dystopian novel and this one definitely has some unique aspects. However, at times the time skips took me out of the story and sometimes left me a bit confused
