‘Death is very likely the greatest invention of life.’ STEVE JOBS, THE APPLE CORPORATION. For millennia mankind has searched for the elixir of eternal youth. Science has now brought us to the very brink of this search. Advances already predict that babies born today could live to well over 100 and very shortly to 140 and beyond. This could be the biggest threat to humanity… ever. Imagine this world if only a few select individuals were invited to benefit from this utopian world of eternal youth, wealth and power. This is the world of Primogeniture. – A world where The Firstborn holds power absolute. – A world where the banishment of death becomes the ultimate prize. However, one unlikely individual holds the key. But will he part with his secret? It is said that every man has his price… As the stakes rise – the very future of mankind waivers in the balance.
