It’s a question microbiologist Richard Draman thought he’d answered when he walked away from his career to focus on curing a genetic defect that is causing his daughter to age at a wildly accelerated rate. But now he and his wife Carly are being forced to come to terms with the fact that eight-year-old Susie’s time is running out. Then they receive an unexpected gift: startling new research into the fundamental secrets of life that could be the miracle they’ve been looking for.

When Richard is arrested on a trumped-up charge of having stolen the data, he takes his family and runs, seeking out a retired special-forces operative and old friend to help dig up the truth behind the controversial experiments. Determined to either save Susie’s life or die trying, the Dramans plunge into a bloody conflict between two powerful factions vying for control of a discovery that could change the face of humanity.

This book was okay. Not really my genre, but more or less kept my interest. I was able to get through it anyway! Interesting, unusual premise. About half way through I began to develop a favorable connection with a couple of the characters, primarily the precocious albeit quite ill little girl, Suzy,
and the old soldier. They were a fun twosome! The narrator was very good with quite a good range for the various characters and accents, and did an especially fine job with the Russian fellow. He really did a fine job overall!

Like I said earlier, this book was, overall, just okay. I doubt I would search out any other books by this author. Wouldn’t necessarily recommend it, but those who really enjoy this type of genre might find it enjoyable.

Not too bad. A little dry, a bit bland, a little boring....

This book had all the basic ingredients of a thriller. Being chased by the bad guys, a kindly old special-forces guy, and a super rich villain. I guess there's a reason these components work so often. This story struck me as nothing special or new, but none-the-less entertaining. I never had any big surprise moments, but I wasn't bored either.

good story line, some tiresome repetitive dialogue from "Richard ", certainly kept my interest

I grabbed this because of the title, I didn't think it was going to be an action and intrigue book, though I should have.

Richard and Carly: Husband and Wife trying to save their Daughter, stumble onto an international cover up that could change the entire human race...but at a cost.

Solid characters who are going through tremendous suffering and rising up to find the truth.
I really felt the author understood the pain of loss.

Some surprises, some I guessed. It was a solid, long drive kind of book, action packed and taking you in different directions. Also glad that there was no attempt to completely explain how the catalyst is produced.

Thank you Kyle Mills for finally answering a question I posed to Robert Sawyer about his book Rollback- "what are cellular consequences of immortality?" (FYI, he refused to answer me)

Reader was ok. I liked all the voices EXCEPT the child, who sounded like a puppet character from Mr. Rogers Neighborhood.

As Advertised, Action and a Little Bit Futurist

This story starts slow but gains momentum as it moves forward. It is amazing what a parent will do to keep their children alive. Immortality is a good thing to try to achieve, but not all people are wise enough to handle it. Good story.

Mt favorite author was Vince Flynn who died two years ago of prostate cancer at age 47. My favorite series is Flynn's Mitch Rapp. The Vince Flynn Foundation selected Kyle Mills to continue the Mitch Rapp series. The Survivor, which was started by Flynn prior to his death and completed by Kyle Mills will released on October 6, 2015.

My prior Kyle Mill exposure has been only with his continuation of Ludlum's Jason Bourne series. I have not been impressed. The Immortalists is a decent futurist book, but it does nothing to quiet my concern for the selection of Mills to continue the Mitch Rapp series. I hope that Mills will be up to the task.

I had hoped that Mark Greaney Brad Thor, or Brian Haig would be selected by the Flynn Foundation. Thor already has his own wonderful Scott Harvath series, so that hope was unrealistic. Haig would be excellent, but at age 59 he is likely older than ideal. Mark Greaney would be the best possible choice but he was either unavailable or was not selected for some reason. Greaney is currently writing Clancy's Jack Ryan series and his Ryan books are consistently superior to the best of Tom Clancy.

Based on his body of work it seems very unlikely that Kyle Mills will be able to match Flynn's success with the Mitch Rapp series. I desperately hope I am wrong. I certainly wish Mills great success.

Interesting, but not compelling

I enjoyed the covert one novels by Kyle Mills and found this story to be just as interesting!!

Great Story!!

An very well written unexpected story
I’m more of a political, military thriller reader. The only reason I bought this book was Kyle Mills' reputation of writing excellent books. What a fantastic web he weaved in this story. Loved all the characters, especially the center of this story, Susie. A well written character full of personality. The parents Richard and Carly are unexpected heroes in their quest to save their daughter's life. Cannot recommend this book enough.

nowhere near as good as his early books. Immortalists was predictable and would have been tedious if the author wasn't such a good writer.

ugh!

This story MAY have potential but it seems to be going nowhere. I rarely give up on a book until I finish it.

This one is an exception. This dude is horrible

Narration is horrid.
