PIGEON PROJECT, THE by Irving Wallace - FIRST EDITION BOOK

See all titles by Irving Wallace.

In the remote region of Abkhazia, in Soviet Georgia, a distinguished British scientist has triumphantly completed twelve years of ceaseless research and experimentation with the discovery of a substance that will extend the longevity of every human being on earth from an average age of 72 to at least 150.

With this astonishing - and absolutely convincing - premise begins the new novel by Irving Wallace, his most original and breathtaking book to date.

At the heart of the book lies the question of who will control this new substance, of whether it will be used for profit or politics, or for the good of humankind. But beyond even this question is the larger and more haunting issue of whether indeed the prolongation of human life on this scale will be a blessing or a curse for the human race.
