Explore the mystery in Yomi Akinode’s epic thriller, You Better Not Get Old.
The Curious Case of Global Disappearances
It all started in Tel Aviv, where Goram Naphtali, a former Knesset member, established a huge medical research facility to treat dementia and memory loss in humans. A dream for a hopeful future, an ode to his father’s memories, a step for the welfare of his land and people. Berlin, an FBI agent, fired at him. Why? Goram had become the most wanted global criminal because of his evil designs and practices. He didn’t want the older people to live on this planet.
Science Gone Mad: The Price of Progress
Goram’s mindset changed after meeting the people of The Order, a zealot organization working under the shadows to make readers question the sanctity of human life and values. His new vision was to let only those in their prime and youth live in this world. Using his influence, he started conducting unethical operations and experiments to turn his vision into reality, even knowing fully well that his practices would cause tremendous pain to older adults.
The Global Ripple Effect
Goram’s research facility, once a beacon of hope, had become a chamber of horrors. What started as a quest to preserve memories evolved into a mission to erase the lives of people over 70.
As the disappearances spread beyond and continue to haunt Tel Aviv, the world is plunged into a state of paranoia and chaos. Communities struggle to protect their senior members. Governments scramble to respond to a threat they can barely comprehend. Even the American president is at a loss to understand what’s happening and how to address this global issue.
Enter Berlin Yords, our intrepid FBI agent thrust into this global mystery. Young, determined, and often underestimated, Berlin finds herself in a race against time to uncover the truth before more innocent lives are affected.
But Berlin isn’t just fighting against an unknown enemy; she’s battling against societal indifference, bureaucratic red tape, and her demons. Will anyone listen to her warnings before it’s too late?
As Berlin digs deeper, she uncovers threads that suggest this isn’t just a series of random disappearances. There’s a pattern being followed, a method to the madness. But what could motivate someone to target older people on such a massive scale?
Is this a twisted attempt at population control, a misguided scientific experiment, or something utterly unthinkable?
Read Yomi Akinode’s intriguing new thriller, You Better Not Get Old, to uncover the truths and the real motives behind the enforced disappearances of older adults.
