AN EXPANSIVE NEW STANDALONE THRILLER IN MICHAEL C. GRUMLEY'S REVIVAL SERIES, EXPLORING HUMANITY'S THIRST FOR IMMORTALITY AT ANY COST.

Technology never works well the first time. Or even the second. Army veteran John Reiff is living proof.

John is revived in the back of a dilapidated ambulance, on the run from a shadowy organization that is desperate to take him back. He is the first one, their archetype, and they need to know what happened after his escape. What is happening to his body and his mind. And they need to know now.

Because Reiff knows things he shouldn't. About them and about what they are hiding. A secret that has been in cold storage for several hundred years. And the insidious, methodical plan that has been in motion for half a century.

John Reiff is their key--a problem and the solution. A lab rat gone rogue at the worst possible time. But they will find him. They have to. And they will stop at nothing to get what they want.
