About this ebook

Medical thriller book with high adventure and higher stakes.

When the Longevity Gene was released into the wild, 400,000,000 people were suddenly returned to a state of youthful vigor. A year has passed since this singular event, and the strain is being felt across the planet. The edifices of governments, corporations, and religions are cracking under the pressure. The very nature of what it means to be human is being challenged.

In the United States, longevity is the central issue in the most divisive presidential race ever. Those who have become young again have swelled the workforce in an economy already racked by terrible unemployment due to the rise of automation and artificial intelligence.

The forces of the rich and powerful who are heavily vested in the status quo are aligned behind a candidate who opposes any further distribution of the longevity gene in the name of protecting the public from a dangerous untested technology. But at the same time, these forces are at work behind the scenes to ensure they have access to the longevity treatment. If they are successful in suppressing this technology and keeping it exclusively for the elite, the split between the haves and the have-nots will not be only about wealth and power, but life itself.

Grail’s End is Book Three of The Grail Protocol Medical Thriller Trilogy, which also includes Grail Protocol, and Grail Awakening.

From Grail Protocol:

Geneticist, Simon Barstow, has stumbled on the secret to immortality. 

Billionaire Gregory Noble, who has planned decades for precisely this event, orchestrates a ruthless strike to steal this world-changing breakthrough and eliminate the few who know of its existence. His goal—keep the discovery secret and sell eternal life only to those who will both pledge fealty and pay a king’s ransom for the privilege.

Barstow has two options, stop the obsessed billionaire, or die. Noble has planned years for every contingency, forcing Barstow to take an insane gamble.

Ratings and reviews

bloody brilliant story so well-explained, thought provoking and has all the right mystery ingredients and suspense. I cannot believe this is the author's first novel, thank you, I look forward to more from you

Very gripping, very credible, well researched and effectively crafted. So good, was the first book 2 & 3 of a series that I've ever paid for, and I'm really glad I did.

Twists and turns. A thrill ride you won't soon forget!

About the author

 My name is Douglas W. Jones...and I'm a writer. I always wanted to be a writer, dreamed about being a writer, but in my heart of hearts, I never thought I would. I was wrong.

I was born into a military family, and like my father, after completing college, I chose that same path. Twenty-one years later, after wonderful careers as an intelligence officer and then as a meteorologist, I retired from the Air Force. I then started a second fulfilling career as a Systems Analyst which I enjoyed for two more decades before retiring once again. About that same time, my wife, Laura, concluded her own career as a psychotherapist. Suddenly, we found ourselves in an entirely different phase of life. Time was, all of a sudden, much more plentiful. Perfect time to start that next career as an author--right? Didn't work out quite like that. 

It was four years later that a dream woke me in the middle of the night and changed everything. I got out of bed and went to my chair in the living room where I wrote two words on a pad of paper then went back to bed. In the morning, having forgotten about my nocturnal activities, with coffee in hand, I sat in my chair and saw two words on the pad--Immortality Crash. I grabbed my laptop and wrote chapter one of The Grail Protocol. Suddenly, I was a writer. The universe can certainly surprise us.
