AD. 2088 Missionary daughter Abigail Caldwell emerges from the jungle for the first time in her thirty-four years, the sole survivor of a mysterious disease that killed her entire village. Abby goes to America, only to discover a nation where Christianity has completely died out. A curious message from her grandfather assigns her a surprising mission: re-introduce the Christian faith in America, no matter how insurmountable the odds.
But a larger threat looms. The world's leading artificial intelligence industrialist has perfected a technique for downloading the human brain in 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 simulating 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.
When I first heard of this, I was so excited. I love futuristic thrillers. Sometimes you have to suspend logic and even common sense at times, just to enjoy the story but I don't mind. If I'm entertained, I consider it a good book.
Mr. Gregory did no such thing. Oh it was completely entertaining but not ONCE did I have to suspend my logic or good sense in order to enjoy this story. In fact, it seems like this is just a culmination of the current culture... I could honestly and completely imagine this happening.
Not only was it logical but it was truly thrilling. Witty, fast paced and overall great read.
Overall Rating: 5/5
Fantastic book by Mr. Gregory. I definitely recommend this to everyone and anyone.
