A retired scientist and administrative manager formerly at the University of North Texas Health Science Center at Fort Worth.
Immortality has always been the dream of mankind. The story relates efforts and experiments to realize that goal. The scientists use the genes of long-lived animals to genetically engineer primates to give them an extended existence, with the anticipation of applying the technology to humans.
Dr. Schubert risked everything while struggling with his research Of aging, he broke all the rules, defying the ethicists and animal rights advocates, by stealing DNA containing longevity genes hidden in long-lived animals for his gene transfer into marmosets to create an extended healthy lifespan for humans.
Since the dawn of time, humanity has dreamt Of immortality. Now on the cusp of a scientific revolution, that dream may finally be within reach. Dr. Schubert, a pioneering geneticist, believes he has unlocked the secret to slowing and even reversing the aging process. By harnessing the extraordinary of creatures like the Naked Mole Rat, the alien Tardigrade, and the 400-year-old Greenland shark, he aims to enhance human DNA repair mechanisms using the revolutionary CRISPR technology. Animal rights activists and ethicists raise concerns about the implications of manipulating the building blocks of life, while NASA and the US Space Force see the potential for protecting astronauts from the ravages Of cosmic radiation during deep space missions.
This is a story of scientific ambition, ethical dilemmas, and the enduring human quest for a longer, healthier existence. It is a journey into the of genetic engineering, where the boundaries between science fiction reality blur, and the possibility Of extending human profound questions about the very nature of life and death.

Prof. Grant is an expatriate Brit who grew up in the town Of Kitimat, in a Haisla First Nation forest area of Northern British Columbia. He has a Doctorate in Molecular Biology @-University of California, San Diego
As an Assistant Professor, he worked with Nobel Laureate Roger Guillemin at The Salk Institute in San Diego, where he was co-discoverer of the brain hormone, Somatostatin and Published with the Nobel Laureate in the Journals of Science and Nature. He has 40 articles on brain hormones, and aging. At The Salk Institute, he was a post-doctoral fellow with Michael Crichton.
Some legacies are built on love. Others on power. Amaya’s must survive both.
Born from the forbidden affair of a Spanish duke and a Mexican woman, Amaya García grows up unaware that noble blood runs through her veins. Her life in the deserts of Mexicali is defined by resilience, independence, and ambition—until the past she never knew calls her home to Spain.
There, amid castles, politics, and old-world aristocracy, Amaya discovers that family is not always defined by affection, but by control. Her newfound father, the Duke of Andalucía, demands her allegiance and her sons’ future as heirs to his empire. But Amaya’s heart belongs to her self-made world in Mexico—and to Allan, a visionary whose drive and integrity mirror her own.
Caught between two men, two nations, and two versions of herself, Amaya must fight to protect her family, her love, and her freedom. Her journey becomes a powerful testament to what a woman can endure—and what she must risk—to reform the legacy she inherits.
Sweeping from Andalucía’s palaces to the Mexicali desert, from corporate boardrooms to family betrayals, Nobel Reform is a vivid, multi-generational saga of romance, ambition, and redemption—where the greatest revolution is not political, but personal.
A woman born of two worlds battles love, power, and legacy as she fights to redefine her destiny. Noble Reform — where bloodlines clash and freedom becomes the ultimate inheritance.
B.S.A.; M.Sc. Ph.D., Emeritus, University of Texas
Senior Men’s Tennis Doubles World Champion 2002 Professor Grant is an expatriate Brit living in San Diego. During the past centuries, his ancestors were English tenant sharecroppers of a feudal landlord, the Earl of Gainsborough, in the small English county of Rutland. His family left the tenant farm, rejecting the feudal authority in the mid-20th century, and emigrated to Canada, facilitated by his father’s successful entrepreneurial farming ventures such as mushroom and asparagus growing and specialized pig farming. Professor Grant’s primary education was in Kitimat, a Haisla Indian Nation area of Northern British Columbia, Canada. Subsequently, he earned advanced degrees from the University of British Columbia (Agriculture) and the University of California, San Diego (1969, Molecular Biology). His formal education was followed by a position as a Research Professor in the laboratory of Nobel Laureate Roger Guillemin at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies in San Diego.
