註釋The first attempt Miles and Kearn's Pharmaceuticals tried to formulate a cure to stop aging only led to disaster. Years later Matthew Sidebottom was picked up by the company and he was obsessed on proving to them that he could, in fact, succeed where they had failed.........and he did. His passion for butterflies, along with his knowledge of botany and medicine, compelled him to lead a life amidst the rainforests of Honduras in a quest to create the miracle drug. But would he willingly hand it over to the company? Not likely. Using his keen skills as a chemist, geneticist, and botanist, he then embarks on a mission to rid the planet of its worse foe, mankind himself, and pushes humanity to the brink of extinction. Matt finds love not only in his hobby of butterfly collecting, but also for Gloria, the tomboy he admired in grade school. They have one child, Adam, and the family relationship takes twists and turns as the plot thickens, but Matt remains devoted to her, and his son, to the very end. Matt's actions position him at the very top of the world's 'most wanted list' and a worldwide manhunt ensues. He is, however, a cunning adversary, and will not give up so easily. Will he prevail? For thousands of years the search for eternal life and the cure for aging have only been perpetuated in legends. Tales of rejuvenation predate those of the famous Ponce de Leon and include others such as Alexander the Great and the mythical king Prester John. The mutual relationship between the Longwing butterflies, the 'Mountain cucumber' (Psiguria) and the resulting extended lifespan of the butterflies, has been known by the scientific community for quite some time. Based on real science, this novel concept in the search for eternal youth sheds new light on modern medicine's potential."
