Waldenbooks

Never has America's master storyteller found a theme so intriguing, characters so fascinating, or a backdrop so glamorous-this is Irving Wallace's most compelling novel yet.

What if mankind's most ancient dream came true? What if we could double our life span? British-American scientist Davis MacDonald makes just that discovery-but he makes it in the Caucasus region of the Soviet Union. The Soviets quickly realize the political advantages of MacDonald's discovery and he barely manages to flee the country with it. But his plane is bound for Venice where a Communist-controlled government agrees to hold him for their Russian comrades:

Trapped in this land-locked city, aided by a world-famous actress, a glamorous contessa, a clever, worldly priest, a wily American journalist, an

aging homosexual novelist, all lured by the promise of a longer, rejuvenated life, MacDonald finds himself playing a pulse-pounding chess game for his secret and perhaps for his very life.

The Pigeon Project is a novel of total fascination:The ultimate Wallace, the book his fans have been waiting for. It is utterly unlaydownable."

-Jérome Weidman

"Sure to make lots of his faithful readers very happy. The search for the professor is intensified by plenty of exciting, frustrating near misses set against a fine travelogue of Venetian sights." -Publishers Weekly
