The Enclave
August 2009
When Lacey McHenry accepts a prestigious research fellowship at the
world-renowned Kendell-Jakes Longevity Institute, she sees it as a new
start on life. But a disturbing late-night encounter with an intruder
leads to an unexpected cover-up by Institute authorities, and she soon
realizes there's more going on than she ever imagined.
She
finds a supporter in genetics researcher Cameron Reinhardt. However,
Reinhardt is a favorite of the Institute's director, and she can't help
wondering if he, too, is in on the cover-up. The brilliant but
absentminded researcher turns out to have his own secrets, some of them
dark and deadly. The Enclave is characterized by adventure, intrigue,
spiritual analogy, and romance, all set in an unusual but fully
realized world–one that may have its foundations on earth but which,
the more one learns of it, doesn't seem much like the earth we know at
all.
