From the bestselling author of the Breakthrough series: In his next near-future thriller, Michael C. Grumley explores humanity's thirst for immortality—at any cost...

"A fast-paced juggernaut of a story, where revelations pile upon revelations, building to a stunning conclusion that will leave readers clamoring for more." —James Rollins, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Sigma Force series
The accident came quickly. With no warning. In the dead of night, a precipitous plunge into a freezing river trapped everyone inside the bus. It was then that Army veteran John Reiff's life came to an end. Extinguished in the sudden rush of frigid water.
There was no expectation of survival. None. Let alone waking up beneath blinding hospital lights. Struggling to move, or see, or even breathe. But the doctors assure him that everything is normal. That things will improve. And yet, he has a strange feeling that there's something they're not telling him.
As Reiff's mind and body gradually recover, he becomes certain that the doctors are lying to him. One by one, puzzle pieces are slowly falling into place, and he soon realizes that things are not at all what they seem. Critical information is being kept from him. Secrets. Supposedly for his own good. But who is doing this? Why? And the most important question: can he keep himself alive long enough to uncover the truth?

      In this techno-thriller mystery, Grumley ("Monument" and "Breakthrough" series) brings to life a near-future adventure that starts when a lone traveler and army vet, John Reiff, becomes a casualty of a wintry bus accident in a frozen river. When John is returned to life in a medical lab, he is surrounded by scientists who are surprised that the technology worked and are wary of telling him that he has been frozen for 20 years. As this miraculous undertaking unfolds, so do the ethics of the science and the purpose behind the experiment. The reanimated Reiff must remember his past, understand what has happened in the last 20 years, and unravel the plot to dispose of him. With the help of scientists who have been duped into believing that this was a legitimate scientific project, Reiff realizes that the plot to use him is only the beginning of a dark and sinister future. VERDICT A fast-paced thriller for mystery and techno-thriller readers, Grumley's novel draws on speculative technology to forecast the dark side of scientific advancement and medical ethics.--Ron Samul
