Lazarus Machine, the (A Tweed & Nightingale Adventure): 1
“Everything was coming together, things beginning to make a sick, twisted sense. Lucien wanted immortality, but he couldn't use his own simulacra because every time he grew one, it had the same cancer. So why not pick someone who was powerful, someone who had the position he had always wanted? Prime Minister Balfour was still relatively young. He had a long life ahead of him.
