Professor Leonard Martin is forty-six years old, but has become an old man before his time in the year 2088. A terrorist organization is responsible. Like millions of Americans who have not yet perished from an accelerated aging nanovirus termed Senescent Syndrome, he has only weeks to live. Apparently, like terrorists, time has its own rules. Now, Martin has been called to the White House. He cannot imagine why President Cavanaugh wants to see him. He did not even vote for the man. What could Cavanaugh possibly want during the worst terrorism crisis in history? What Martin learns can never leave the Oval Office, and he can only hope that time is on his side when he and Special Secret Service Agent Thomas Baley uncover sixty-four year old evidence of a global conspiracy.
