About The Yamanaka Factors by Jed Henson
Fall 2028. Mickey Cooper, an elderly homeless man, receives an incredible proposition from a rogue pharmaceutical company: “Be our secret guinea pig for our new drug and we’ll pay you life-changing money, which you’ll be able to enjoy because if (cough) when the treatment works, two months from now your body will be youthened to twenty-three years old.”
When his treatment proves more difficult than expected and corporate espionage turns deadly, Mickey finds himself flanked by internal corruption and powerful external enemies, including Chinese operatives desperate to reverse their country’s aging demographics and amoral U.S. government officials who fear the new technology will upend civilization.
A nihilist at heart with a dwindling number of friends, Mickey yearns to fade into the woodwork to live in peace, struggling to remember what matters in life. An analog old-timer has no chance to win in the digital age anyway, right?

Author Bio:
Jed Henson grew up in western Montana in the 70s and 80s. When he wasn’t doing outdoor things and lusting after Bandit Trans Ams, he was consuming books one after the other. Robert Ludlum, Louis L’Amour, Dick Francis, Dean Koontz, Stephen King, Tom Clancy, Scott Turow, Carl Hiassen—thrillers, horror, mysteries, science fiction and yes, westerns. The faster and funner the better.
Jed received his BA from Whitman College, and then spent much of his 20s and 30s in San Diego as a failing writer who excelled at beach life. Then came a magazine editing career and a family, which combined to finish off his waning writing aspirations.
Or seemed to. Jed now lives in North Carolina with his family, including humans and hounds, and has recently picked up his “pen” again. Look for his first novel soon, a techno-thriller set in the near future.
