Pulse by Julian Barnes
Imagine a world where soldiers regenerate and continue fighting without pause, and where suicide bombers live to strike again. This is the dream of Richard Ridley, founder of Manifold Genetics, and he has discovered the key to eternal life: an ancient artifact buried beneath a Greek inscribed stone in the Peruvian desert.
When Manifold steals the artifact and abducts archaeologist Dr. George Pierce, the United States Special Forces Delta operative, Jack Sigler, callsign King, and his Chess Team--Queen, Knight, Rook, Bishop and their handler, Deep Blue--give chase. They must save Pierce and stop Manifold before they change the face of genetics--and human history--forever.
