Fatal Beauty - William Schoell

William Schoell's eighth novel returns to print, meticulously restored and revised by the author for the first time since its original publication!

They called it "porodyne."

A bizarre by-product of bio-engineering, porodyne has been found-quite accidentally-to have some very special properties. Properties that could render cosmetic surgery obsolete. Properties that could turn Barrows Industries into a billion-dollar gold mine.

The changes porodyne makes in human skin are permanent. It could mean new life for burn victims, people scarred by accidents, old folk yearning to be young again, models who insist on being more beautiful...

But the miracles it promises its first human test subjects rely on one all-important-and totally unpredictable-element: their desire to become beautiful. And if beauty results from beautiful thoughts-what unnatural horrors must await those consumed by evil?

This Special Edition features a brand-new introduction by William Schoell.
