"Futuristic and imaginative, The Golden Gate by Robert Buettner sweeps across continents and centuries in a thrilling chase for the truth about longevity. The science is fascinating, and the suspense never lets up. Readers will revel in this terrific roller-coaster ride.” — Gayle Lynds, New York Times bestselling author of The Assassins Great to hear that from multiple award winning thriller author Gayle Lynds, "Today's Best Espionage Writer," and a co-writer with an all-time favorite of mine, Jason Bourne creator Robert Ludlum.
