The Man Who Refused to Die

By Alan Thomas

Wealthy businessman Dimitry Yablonsky finds it unbearable to witness his beloved father's descent into old age. So he decides to award a prize of $100 million to anyone who can find a way of halting the human ageing process.
Dr Jonathan Palmer, a brilliant Cambridge scientist, aims to do just that. Despite the opposition of his deeply-religious wife, his colleagues and the Law, he is determined to let nothing stand between him and the ultimate prize in science.
But Palmer's work sparks off a chain of events that bring both joy, hope, bitterness and betrayal in their wake. He is prepared to sacrifice his marriage and even his life in pursuit of his quest, while Yablonsky risks losing his reputation and his liberty if a guilty secret is revealed.

Author BioBorn and raised in New Zealand. I am currently living in Australia. I have always had a passion for travel and new experiences and have travelled to many countries around the world. Little did I know I would end up in war torn East Timor, Iraq and Afghanistan. Wouldn`t trade the experience for anything. Met some very interesting people. Some very colorful characters. I believe it not only gives you an insight to what is truly happening in these countries but also an appreciation of the benefits we sometimes take for-granted in life.My interest in writing my first two books “Fatal Decision” and “Hostile Intent” was born out of my fascination in global politics especially the Worlds Super Powers. Following military movements, and political cat and mouse between the UN Security Council members was intriguing and sometimes amusing.I have travelled fairly extensively to some amazing places around the world and some not so amazing. But the experience is always worth the effort. Some places I`ve traveled: USA, Canada, Mongolia, Japan, Germany, Turkey, Dubai, Kuwait, Singapore, South Korea, Hong Kong, China, Afghanistan, Iraq, Australia, Fiji, Indonesia, and many more..Have a great passion for sport, especially Bodybuilding. Both participating and viewing. Living in a tropical paradise like Australia it’s easy to be persuaded to venture outdoors and hit the beach.I truly hope you will enjoy my first two books as much as I did writing them. The new sequel called “Hostile Intent” has just been released through my Publisher and is now available through all major book outlets..2019I have just released my first book of poetry. It's from the heart so I hope you will enjoy. It's my 3rd book.2019Just released my 4th book which is about my travels and experience. It's a short story. I will write a sequel to this at some stage as I have many experiences overseas.2020Have released my 5th book entitled, "The Mind Set". If the mind is strong the body will follow.I would like to dedicate this book to my three children, Darcian, Dayna and Calin.
