The Magni

If only we could bring back some of the great minds of the past to help us sort out the mess the world is in. And it seems there’s no rest for the brilliant because, to one Seattle-based corporation, this is more than a pipe dream. They have the cloning technology and access to genetic information needed to bring about this miracle ... to reincarnate historic luminaries and to set them on putting the world to rights.

So what could possibly go wrong?

When two friends unearth Locksley corporation’s outlandish plans and discover that they are themselves among the geniuses brought back for a second act, it puts them in the company’s crosshairs, and their survival now depends on their wit. But of that they have plenty. Unfortunately, so do their predators.
