Description
Jan Ericson spends his days on the campus of the Corpo Academy participating in sports and playing games. He looks forward to moving to New London, where he will live with his father and start his career.
Dr. William Osler works at the Academy and considers himself an amateur philosopher and would-be comedian. The doctor knows that the 17-year-old boy will die, the same way his older brother died, in less than two weeks.
When Jan discovers a tunnel that runs under the school, he initiates a chain of events that might save his life!
The Gemini Project is must-read coming-of-age novel that deals with a dystopian future and the world of neurology. The story of Jan Ericson will take you to unpredictable places in a battle of life and death.
Advance Praise
A brilliant work of Science Fiction that takes the reader into a Dystopian world that is at the same time, not probable, but somehow possible. An enjoyable read with every chapter building on the juxtaposition of the two central characters and their inevitable conflict. Jan Ericson represents our innocence, while Dr. Osler represents our disillusionment. The background to story is presented through the writings of a separate author (Dr. Osler) and a trip down the memory lane in the town of Youngstown. The view of a future includes a world where designer children are developed and civilization has developed its own solution for global warming, pandemics and war. Accordingly, there is a definite philosophical view point presented. The ending will have you questioning your own morals, as in: what would you do in this situation?

The Gemini Project had an interesting premise that seems very possible in the near future. I enjoyed the Sci-Fi aspect of the story from that point of view. I did feel there were times when too much explanation was woven into the story therefore slowing it down. There were enough twists and action, however, to keep moving ahead to find out what the project really was and how one boy intended to put a stop to it.

What if you could live your life, make your money, then when you got as old as you wanted or terminal, you could become 18 again and, of course, keep your assets minus a small fee? Would you do it? What price would you be willing to pay for this miracle of longevity? What would you give to be forever healthy and young? What would you give up? THE GEMINI PROJECT addresses these issues and more.
For as long as Jan remembers, he has been at the Corpo living, playing, and looking forward to the day when he will finally get to go home and live with his father. Now, finally, at last, he is turning 18, and it's almost his time. Jan wants to make his father, Tre proud of him. On Father's Day, Jan wins virtually all the sporting events, yet Tre only sees the one accident he had during the competitions. A while later, Tre returns to Corpo with bad news. He is dying, and Jan is the only one who can save his life.
