More DescriptionThe year is 2062. Dr. Arantxa Huerta is haunted by the destruction wreaked on the Earth by weapons of her own design. Leaving the arms race behind her, she hopes to make restitution by supervising the creation of the ingestion capsule F.C.M., model number 353. Containing every nutrient needed by the human body, the F.C.M. has the potential to sustain life, prolong it, and, to Huerta's horror, destroy it.

Huerta knows what it will cost herself to destroy the F.C.M., but her race around the globe quickly shows the rising cost to everyone she touches.
