DUST TO DUST
James Thompson
From the author of the terrifying novel The Anthrax Protocol, James

doctors, the rats begin to show signs of renewed youth, restored health, and remarkable
vigor. Surprised by the results, neurologist Kat Williams and biochemist Burton Harris
believe they have stumbled upon a major breakthrough in the science of aging. But
there is only one way to know if their formula can truly reverse the aging process. Their
next subject needs to be human
A LIVING NIGHTMARE

hope to live, he is the ideal test subject for the next phase of the experiment. Like the lab rats,
Jerome responds quickly and dramatically to the serum. But when Dr. Williams and Dr.
Harris seek more funding for their studyfrom a paralyzed billionaire hoping to cure death
itselfthey make another chilling discovery about their fountain of youth drug.
Everybody wants it. And some will kill for it

In Las Vegas, Nevada, also known as Sin City, anything goes. This is why the Double Gs
have chosen to set up shop here.
Starrshima Fields, aka Starr, is a young, bodacious, and bold beauty. She is also the leader
of the Double Gs, a powerful and ruthless social club of plus-sized women. Starr is
guided by Queen Fem, the founder of the Double Gs. Queen Fem set up the group of
professionals-by-day, gangster-biker-chicks-by-night to prove that this isnt just a mans
world. The Double Gs put the squeeze on their primary targets: men of power and privilege.
Blackmail and manipulation are their choice of weapons, and they are skillful in both.
Agent McCarthy has been tracking the Double Gs since the founder was at the helm of the
organization. For years, he could not infiltrate the group of female radicals, but he has finally
managed to plant a seed that could possibly lead to the destruction of the Double Gs when
the young Starrshima Fields becomes the new face of the group.
As the temperature increases in Las Vegas, so does the pressure the Double Gs apply. No
man is safe from the Double Gs and their manipulative tactics, and anyone who tries to stop
them is putting his life in danger. These women are on a mission, and they believe the only
way they can accomplish it is by keeping the game and the players in a chokehold!
