The Lab Goddess concerns a project to extend the human lifespan by centuries, if not indefinitely, through genetic engineering, organ transplants, and maybe other means. The project, financed by the Essquibo Institute, a consortium of investors, is run on a small island in the Pacific Ocean. Also on this island is the struggling real estate development of Gaville Associates, which has brought in only one resident besides the caretaker. When the lone homeowner, Hawkins, encounters Traci, a scientist from the project, he's gradually drawn into its secret operations. As the work becomes more promising, including the perfection of an artificial chromosome, its lucrative nature attracts outsiders. At the center of intrigues is Traci, whose late husband infused her with a precursor of the chromosome. Though it had defects, Traci nonetheless can live for hundreds of years with the appearance, some say, of a goddess.
