Adult Fiction/ SciFi? Wealthy man attempts to Clone himself in multiple surrogate mothers. Read around 1998-2005.

Read the book around 1998-2005 but I believe it was already an older book. The story was about an extremely wealthy man that was in his prime trying to create a perfect clone of himself using surrogate mothers so that he could I believe transfer his brain into one once it grew up. Along the way, he falls for a woman and in one part of the story I clearly remember him making love to her on a balcony and it was extremely detailed.

Idk if it will help but it was a hardcover book and it was red.

Rob, is this science fiction?

[Rob]

Kris- possibly… as I said it is extremely detailed in the adult themed areas… so to me it was adult fiction… maybe it should be classified as adult science fiction? Lol

I’m honestly not fully versed on what makes a book classification correct or incorrect when mixed themes.

Sounds like something Heinlein might have written -- Time Enough for Love: The Lives of Lazarus Long perhaps?

[Rob]

Michele- as interesting as that book sounds there was no time travel and the invidious was not gifted with long life or anything.

Just some wealthy business tycoon of sorts in his prime trying to do what no one else ever has to defeat death. Also it was set primarily in a more modern time.

Set in a country/region/city?

@lobstergirl- idk. It’s modern times. In the book he travels the world. So no set country. He takes the woman to some pretty exotic places.
