Publisher's summary

“Espionage, perilous international affairs, and cynicism can all be found in the chilling novel Forever. Cooper has delivered another riveting novel to keep you on the edge of your seat!” Manhattan Book Review Will medical research unravel the secret to immortality? Or will it be stolen by a master of manipulation, deceit, and murder? Professor Brad Parker is enjoying his sabbatical in one of Harvard’s leading genomic engineering labs, focused on altering the human genome to meet challenges like treating cancer and increasing longevity. Then he’s interrupted by a surprise request from the FBI. Can he help them track down a Chinese spy who’s stealing the lab’s secrets? Becoming engaged in a case of criminal conspiracy is the last thing Brad wants to do—but at the urging of Karen Richmond, his partner and now an FBI agent herself, he agrees. The ensuing hunt takes Brad and Karen down a trail of treachery and death that leads from Boston to the coast of southern Maine, where a killer lies in wait.

The plot, characters, and science was fascinating and well written.

I loved the book but absolutely hated the virtual voice narration. The narration came very close to ruining the whole book. It took me three times as long to finish because I kept giving up on it because of the virtual voice narration. I would highly suggest that the author and publishers re-release this book with an actual narrator as the story deserves a live narrator.

Incredibly bad computer narration

I am a prolific Audible user and was interested in the topic of this story. I was unprepared for how bad the narration would be. Flat tone, no emotion, mispronounced words ruined the experience for me. The story was fairly well written but I will never again listen to any of this author’s books narrated in this fashion. Horrible experience
