Fueled by a wealth of research, an overdose of self-confidence, and the money of influential patrons to whom he makes outrageous promises, Hal experiments with organisms living in the thermal plumes in the ocean depths. But as he journeys beneath the sea, his other world is falling apart. Across the country, scientists are being inexplicably murdered - including Hal's identical twin brother, who is also working to unlock the secret to immortality. Hal himself barely eludes a cold-blooded attack at sea, and when he returns home to Seattle, he finds himself walking into an eerie realm where voices speak to him from the dead. where a once-brilliant historian turned crackpot is leading him on a deadly game of hide-and-seek. and where the beautiful, rich widow of his twin is more than willing to pick up the pieces of Hal's life - and take him places he's never been before. Suddenly Hal is trapped inside an ever-twisting maze of shocking revelations. For he is not the first person to come close to ending aging forever - and those who came before him will stop at nothing to keep the secret to themselves. Now every person on earth is at risk of being made an unsuspecting player in one man's spectacular and horrifying master plan. Review(s): "Blending fierce, fast plots with vivid characters and mind-bending ideas, Greg Bear has mastered a powerful alchemy of suspense, science, and action in his gripping thrillers. 'Darwin's Radio' was hailed across the country as one of the best books of the year. 'Vitals', begins with a harrowing descent to a netherworld at the very bottom of the sea - and then explodes to the surface in sheer terror" / "Terrifying. not only does Greg Bear keep you guessing, he keeps you thinking. He is a master at turning a scientific concept into a cracking good thriller" - Tess Gerritsen / "Astonishing. I was blown away by its ferocious intelligence, astounding research and insight, and terrifying logic. 'Vitals' is the ultimate conspiracy theory. 'Vitals' is the future of the thriller, and a thriller of our future. 'Vitals' is biotech noir. Read it with the light on. Prepare not to sleep easy" - Stephen Baxter / "Now, at a time when bold enthusiasts proclaim that the keys to immortality lie within human reach, Bear cautions - in 'Vitals' - that a strange and frightening world may await us if we dare open that door" - David Brin / "'Vitals' is a way-cool thriller, at once a book of ideas and a creepy roller-coaster ride through the biotech-murder continuum. Greg Bear tells a dark story in lean prose about the soft underbelly of hi-tech, California-dreamin'. I didn't sleep a wink" - John Case:- (original cost $24.95).
