Misspent Youth is set in 40 years in the future (around 2040), and follows the story of Jeff Baker, the first person to undergo rejuvenation treatment. The treatment involves a reversal in Jeff’s physical age to his early twenties, and in doing so creates havoc for his family. We witness Jeff's relationship with his old friends crumble, the arguments he has with his family and the relationships he has with many a young lady. The story is very much character driven and the technology is impressive and a very good foundation for further books (Pandora's Star & Judas Unchained).
