Death is no more. War, famine, and disease are gone. Earth is a paradise. But not everyone lives on Earth. On a distant planet, the Sandigan regime struggles to survive in wake of the Last War. Their goal: To revive their dead leader and return to Earth. One unsuspecting programmer on Earth can help. James Hawthorn is a socially detached researcher working for weLive, the company responsible for ending death. Because of DNA complications, billions of people - like James’ mother - were never revived.

Fascinating Concept, Great Execution
Revisado: 01-03-21
Alder has created a world where death is no longer a problem, but he doesn't stop there. Even when death stops being a problem, life, clearly, does not. I appreciate the thought that went into what life would be like if you'd lived several lifetimes, and what kinds of new problems you would have to solve in that case.
The pace is slow at first, but it steadily gains speed. By the climax I was lamenting the fact that I couldn't turn the pages quickly enough. Alder's strength lies in his ability to create dynamic character relationships - a plus for my personal tastes - as well as creating and describing a socio-political landscape that intrigues without boring someone like myself, who never much cared for military-type stories.
Overall, a very good read, and Jake Chronister has given a delightful and engaging performance for the audiobook.
