Progeneter II

PROGENETER II Immortality Endgame: The Bacob monks are on the run after a botched Bureau of Alcohol, Drugs, and Firearms raid on the tribe's village. The assault resulted in the death of Mekel's father, but the authorities, and ChemCorp, failed to net the crystal skull, the materials needed to prepare the life extension formula, or to capture a Bacob, the only people who know how to prepare the drug for human injection. So, a now desperate Andrew McCord, ChemCorp's CEO, dispatches a team of South American mercenaries, led by the feared Eduardo d'Aubisson. d'Aubisson's task is simple: get the skull and capture someone with the knowledge of how to use it. Now, Mekel Mak'ina, his team, and Dr. Helen Murray, flee the U.S. and enter Canada illegally, hiding deep in the mountains of southeastern British Columbia. They hope, in this remote, wilderness area, that they, the skull, and the secrets they protect, will be safe. But Eduardo d'Aubisson knows how to find people. Enter Swandy, the leader of a team of ex-NATO soldiers hired by Dr. Helen Murray's father to protect her. A seemingly simple assignment on the surface, but Swandy and his team don't know what they've gotten themselves into. PROGENETER introduces valuable information in a package best described as educational fiction, a genre where important lessons are learned while we are also entertained. And the lessons in this book revolve around the future of humans. The facts reveal that humans, according to the United Nations Population section, are on track to multiply from 7 billion people today to 10-12 billion by 2050 and to 15 billion by 2100. If you're younger than 40, you should worry about 2050 events, and if you're having children, you should worry about events of the year 2100. But we don't tend to think in decades; we tend to be apathetic and to think short term. If the projections come to pass, it is extremely unlikely that there will be enough space, food, or water for 5 billion more people-the equivalent of two more China's and two more India's-by 2050, let alone 2100? Children born today, as they near the ends of their lives in 2100, may face co-existence with eight billion more people, more than twice today's number! BONUS: the PROGENETER books are also highly illustrated with 70 full color photos that bring the action to visual life!
