What if immortality wasn’t a gift—but a curse coded in your DNA? Joshua Candamo’s R4G3: Vein of Mortals takes readers on a high-stakes journey into the bleeding edge of science, faith, and the human condition. Equal parts biotech thriller and mythic fantasy, the novel explores what happens when a scientific breakthrough becomes something terrifyingly divine.
At the heart of the story lies Project Joy, a secret government experiment obsessed with ending disease and death. For nearly a century, every test subject has failed—until a condemned murderer named Thomas Evers becomes the first to survive. What should have been the dawn of a new era instead unleashes something ancient, a force intertwined with his very blood: the Veins of Galkur, a conduit between science and the supernatural.
As Dr. Charli Stanwick struggles to control what she’s helped create, she finds herself at war with her conscience, her colleagues, and powerful enemies who see Evers not as a man but as a weapon. Between the U.S. military, a shadowy cult called Societas Arcanorum, and a ruthless billionaire chasing godhood, she must face the ultimate question—where does humanity end, and monstrosity begin?
Candamo writes with cinematic precision and philosophical depth, layering cutting-edge biotech with ancient mysticism. The result is a gripping, thought-provoking exploration of creation, control, and consequence. It’s a story where redemption and ruin walk hand in hand—and the price of saving humanity may be its very soul.
With its blend of emotional gravity, pulse-pounding action, and haunting moral tension, R4G3: Vein of Mortals stands as one of the most daring science fantasy novels of the year.
