The Methuselah Solution

Summary: Prophetic adventure of medicine, science and the prison sys.
Review: Although just off the presses, I've reviewed this exciting book as it was being written. I even wrote the forward to it. I've known the author since we were plebes at the US Naval Academy in 1955. We both graduated, went into the Air Force and served in Vietnam. Bill Harris is an unsung hero of that war having over 700 combat missions, perhaps a record. His zest for life and his creative intelligence are poured out in this book. He has combined medicine, science and the criminal justice system in a very plausible, prophetic novel set in Texas. His intuitive grasp of the free radical theory of disease and aging is right on target. He understands it better than most doctors. Creative scientists use and abuse their knowledge to change prison life forever. Romance, sex, adventure and intrigue make this a page turner. A movie to follow is a certainty. This is one of the most compelling fiction books you'll read. The use of state of the art knowledge by the state to minimize crime is frightenly within reach. Bill Harris has woven a tail of intrigue, romance and prison life that will keep you up reading. Read it for education. Read it for fun. Read it for its prophetic insight. Read it for adventure and escape. BUY IT TODAY. READ IT TODAY. IT'S A MUST READ.

Summary: A thriller that makes you think!
Review: Bill Harris does a wonderful job here of giving an action packed story, woven together with romance and intrigue. Most impressively, this book gives a scientifically based scenario which could help with the prison overcrowding population. A great book for sci-fi and medical thriller fans as well as anyone who likes a good read.

Summary: Fascinating timely scenario
Review: I read this manuscript before printing and found it to be engaging and entertaining while focusing on a plausible solution to the overcrowded jail and prison problems existing in the US. Crooked politicians add to the mix with an exciting finale. Great stuff!!

Summary: Oh yeah! This story will grab you.
Review: This book is too timely for words. Society can't put those "on-the-fringe" humans away fast enough; those criminals whose only job it is to suck the life ... out of life itself. We've become a society of door lockers, gun carriers and over the shoulder glancers. And if there is not enough satisfaction for the criminal that we victims have become prisoners within our own lives, we must pay to build and maintain the prisions to house them. We are twice victims.

The "Methuselah Solution" promises to return freedom to our lives. For the mere cost of an injection the authorities can administer a sentence to the career criminal and we can watch them age before our eyes. No prison time! No cost! No problem. Society now sucks the life from them. It is the solution, the "Methuselah Solution" and it's the promise of the future. Or is it? Or have the developers of the solution actually become "them"?

Oh yeah! This book will grab you. Go with caution, for it will not let you go.
