Cover blurb:
From the Official Site
When a disease-ravaged body is found in the smoldering ruins of the
federally funded DyMar genetic research lab, Agents Fox Mulder and
Dana Scully fear that a deadly, man-made plague is on the loose. As the
FBI agents investigating the "X-Files"--cases the bureau has deemed
unsolvable-- Mulder and Scully pursue the truth wherever it leads, even
into the labyrinthine corridors of the FBI...and beyond.
Racing to contain the lethal virus before it can spread, Mulder and Scully
make a chilling discovery. Before his death, Dr. David Kennessy, a
hotshot cancer researcher at DyMar, had been experimenting with a
promising but highly dangerous technology: microscopic bio-machines
that can cure any disease, heal any wound. In theory this research could
be a miracle cure, perhaps even a doorway to immortality. It was also
the only way Dr. Kennessy could save his leukemia-stricken son.
But when a second corpse turns up, savagely mutilated from within, it's
anything but theoretical. Could machines created to cure have learned to
kill? Scrambling for answers, Mulder and Scully are opposed at every step by faceless enemies with all the
resources of the government-- even perhaps of their own agency--at their command. Enemies who will stop at
othing to ensure that the secret of immortality falls in the right hands--their hands.
As sinister forces close in, Scully fights to save the life of an innocent boy, while Mulder comes face-to-face with
a crazed and desperate man. A man whose slightest touch brings agonizing death--and perhaps a resurrection
more horrible still.
