Life-lines John V Kernaghan

The Frank Organisation dominates the world in terms of science, technology and space industries. They control resources that could change the world and provide it with vital life-lines that would enable a fabulous future for all - technologies they choose to keep to themselves. GEM Technology - digital and genetic immortality - is the FO's most valuable asset and potentially, the greatest currency the world will every encounter. And it opens the doorway to the stars. Any individual or Nation can participate in the FO's plans to exploit the galaxy, there is only one condition. There is no place in the Frank utopia for religion. Mathew is a Captain in the British Peace Corp. and he has been injured beyond repair. Peter Frank can save him. He can offer the hope of a future that is irresistible to the broken Mathew. All that Peter demands in return, is Mathew's soul. It will be his destiny to ensure that Peter's galactic ascendancy goes unimpeded by those residing on Earth, and it is one he fulfills with deadly earnest. The Frank Empire seems to be without limit and without boundary. What then should Mathew do when all his convictions are overturned? That what he considered to be an absolute truth - was absolutely wrong. Christine claims to be the Child of God, and Mathew has a damned hard time proving to himself that she is not - and she wants Mathew to help her destroy the FO. Captain Marcus Tristram Andarchy is the System's first ever pirate and only pus and corruption run in his veins - he's the perfect tool that Mathew and Christine can use to chip away at the Frank Empire. Betraying Peter Frank will never be easy. But it could easily be deadly.
