THE PROMISE OF ETERNAL LIFE OR INSTANT DEATH?

When a disease-ravaged body is found in the burned ruins of a federally funded genetic research lab, Agents Fox Mulder and Dana Scully fear that a deadly, man-made plague is on the loose. As the FBI agents investigating the "X-Files" -- bureau cases labeled unsolvable -- Mulder and Scully pursue the truth wherever it leads, even into the labyrinthine corridors of their own agency...and beyond.

Racing to contain the virus, Mulder and Scully discover that the lab's hotshot cancer researcher -- killed in the fire -- was experimenting with a promising yet highly dangerous technology that could cure any disease, heal any wound, and could even be the key to immortality. Then a second corpse turns up, savagely mutilated from within. Could these machines created to cure have learned to kill? Scrambling for answers, Mulder and Scully must fight powerful, faceless enemies who will stop at nothing to control this technology; enemies with all the resources of the government -- perhaps even the FBI -- behind them. As sinister forces close in, Scully fights to save the life of an innocent boy, while Mulder comes face-to-face with a crazed and desperate man whose slightest touch brings agonizing death -- and perhaps a resurrection more horrible still.
