Sixty-year-old Soviet Scientist Lyudmila Alekseyeva

While working on a drug to speed healing, discovers the Fountain of Youth in 1978. Longing to return to the beautiful, healthy, and vivacious woman she had been, she steals the drug from her lab and transforms into a gorgeous, irreverent co-ed of twenty.

The Politburo wants her formula so they can stay in power forever, and they want her dead. She makes her way to America and goes into seclusion at the base of the Rocky Mountains. Fifty-seven years later, in 2035, at one-hundred-seventeen years in age, but still biologically twenty, her husband tragically dies, and she comes out of hiding to find a world steeped in chaos by a solar flare.

The Russian oligarchs, as immortal as she, have not given up the chase. With well over a century of experience to draw from, she must help her rural community survive while living in mortal fear the FSB will find her and her family.
