Martyr

Senator Dan Fowler has dedicated his career to exposing the conspiracy that will let the rich live forever while the rest of humanity ages and dies. Rejuvenation technology exists, but it's been monopolized by an elite who hoard it for themselves. Fowler has been their loudest critic, their most stubborn obstacle. Then his doctor delivers news that turns his crusade into a cruel joke: Fowler has the same disease killing everyone else. The cure exists. The system he fights requires him to become complicit in the very injustice he's sworn to destroy. Meanwhile, on the Mars Colony, investigator Carl Golden is uncovering the truth behind a colleague's mysterious death, one that points to something far darker than corporate greed. What does a man do when the cause of his life becomes the only hope for his survival? Nourse builds this premise into a tense meditation on mortality, power, and whether principles survive contact with death itself.
