Beyond Eden

Time is of the essence... A young book editor stumbles from the site of a chemical attack in a London subway, accepts a woman's offer of help, and then vanishes... A group of boys in upstate New York goes sledding. One never comes home... A military convoy approaches a lone figure on a dusty road in southern Iraq. The woman is Army Chaplain Jamie Richards - and it seems she's been gone a lifetime. After two years in Eden, Jamie has chosen to return to the "terris" world as a duel citizen. But she soon discovers that seemingly random kidnappings are fatefully and tragically connected. The victims, all descendants of Eden, have the one thing people outside of paradise want - a way to live forever.
