Omega: A Jack Sigler Thriller

Начало книги

Richard Ridley was a megalomaniac with twin dreams: immortality and ultimate power. His multi-billion dollar genetics company, Manifold, was poised to give him both, when he discovered the historic resting place of the Lernaean Hydra — on the Nazca plains of Peru.
