The Vials of Our Wrath

Concerto for Rachel, Book One

In the halcyon days of the twenty-third century, human beings are healthier, more beautiful, and more long-lived than ever before thanks to regeneration therapy from the Global Health Directorate. The assassination of a Directorate scientist starts a war between a corrupt bureaucracy and a group of self-mutilating religious fanatics. Dr. Rosemary "Roger" Mitchell must find her way through the violence and chaos to save as many as she can.

To bring down the architects of her brave new world, Roger must navigate between dangerous and self-righteous Directorate Council and suicidal religious extremists of the Community of Natural Aging (CONA), while protecting her father, who is a patient at a Directorate regeneration center. She has to stay alive long enough to get him to safety and to decide if she can betray her mentor and sacrifice her closest ally in order to save the world from the Directorate’s excesses and CONA’s madness.
