Summary:
Jason Richards is a gifted research chemist seeking a cure for
Alzheimers disease. His first mistake is isolating himself from his
wife and brother in his quest. His second, injecting himself with his
experimental drug that almost kills him. Almost. When he wakes up on
an operating table with an unknown substance pumping into his arm he
has to ask himself if he really is alive. Welcome to the Phoenix
Society, a crematorium with a difference. Their plans for Jason dont
include incinerating him, but transforming him into a mindless
creature from whom they can harvest organs. The Societys head, Dr.
Curt Wagner, is a gifted but unscrupulous doctor who may have a cure
for organ rejection, the bane of all organ transplant operations, but
is the cost too high? The Society is unaware that their drug
cocktail, mixed with Jasons own experimental drug results in an
entirely new kind of human being; one that will prove hard to kill.
To make matters worse, one of the doctors transplant patients goes
berserk and kills several people. The doctor soon finds Lieutenant
Brinkley, a tenacious detective from San Francisco, on his trail,
even as Jason escapes the crematorium. Jason must come to grips with
what he has become, and elude the Societys security forces, as well
as a phantom presence that shadows his every move. As the bodies
stack up, Jason becomes a suspect and must elude the police. The odds
become higher when Dr. Wagner kidnaps his wife. Jason must return to
the crematorium to confront the evil doctor, save his wife, and
restore his sanity.
