Harvard entomologist Dr. Trygve Lindstrom can't refuse a mysterious
invitation to attend a conference in London, for "the greatest
scientific expedition in history." The powerful pharmaceutical
company, The Chapter, is funding dozens of prominent scientists for
a year's sabattical to biological hotspots across the globe to
collect specimens that may become tomorrow's miracle drugs.
Lindstrom's assignment is a dream come true: collecting rare
insects in a remote corner of Madagascar, the Red Island. Lindstrom
soon befriends a reclusive Malagasy tribe of Rock People and begins
sending hundreds of new and rare insect specimens to The Chapter.
Sketchy documents and folklore attribute to the tribal shaman of
this tribe an exceptionally long, youthful, disease-free life. Have
the Rock People found the Fountain of Youth? Is there any truth to
rumors of an insect, a bibeleky, whose bite confers youth and
health? Lindstrom ridicules the native stories . . . until he
discovers the frightening truth. The Chapter will stop at nothing
to exploit such a priceless discovery.
