In the future, it’s possible to live forever—but at what cost?
But a larger threat looms. The world's leading artificial intelligence industrialist has perfected a technique for downloading the human brain into a silicon form. Brain transplants have begun, and with them comes the potential of eliminating physical death altogether—but at what expense?
As Abby navigates a society grown more addicted to stimulating the body than nurturing the soul, she and Creighton Daniels, a historian troubled by his father's unexpected death, become unwitting targets of powerful men who will stop at nothing to further their nefarious goals. Hanging in the balance—the spiritual future of all humanity.
In this fast-paced thriller, startling near-future science collides with thought-provoking religious themes to create a spell-binding "what-if?" novel.
David Gregory is the best-selling author of Dinner with a Perfect Stranger, A Day with a Perfect Stranger, The Next Level, and the coauthor of the nonfiction The Rest of the Gospel. After a ten-year business career, he returned to school to study religion and communications, earning master's degrees from Dallas Theological Seminary and the University of North Texas. A native of Texas, he now lives in the Pacific Northwest.
Back Cover Reviews:
...The first several chapters, I wasn’t sure if I was going to really be interested in the book. Don’t get me wrong, there’s nothing wrong with the writing, in fact it is excellent – it just included technical and very necessary backstory/setup information…info. that raised questions like it was supposed to....Wow, the style of this is very different from Dinner with a Perfect Stranger, A Day with a Perfect Stranger, not to mention The Next Level, but no less compelling. Something…the style or theme reminded me of Michael Creighton at first. I was also a little confused in the opening couple of chapters when there was a change of time or place, but after that they were well-marked.
...This is an amazing story in a genre all its own. It didn’t take long for me to not want to put it down. His view of our faith in Christ is completely Bible-based and yet, it presented a paradigm shift that I’m still working to get a handle on…and like his strong, authentic characters - it may take me a little while. I like, no LOVE, books like this – books that force me to think and deepen my relationship with Jesus. His plot also kept me guessing until the last page and that is just pure writing brilliance!
