Description:
Without warning, something has
gone terribly awry. In the remote and unnoticed places of the world, small
pockets of death begin occurring. As the initially isolated extinctions spread,
the world’s eyes focus on this unimaginable horror and chaos. Out of the
ecological imbalance, something new and extraordinary is evolving and surviving
to fill the voids left by these extinctions. Evolution is operating in ways no
one could have expected and environmental damage may be the catalyst. Once
discovered, this knowledge changes everything.
Praise for Immortality:
Kirkus: “There is enough power in the premise to leave readers reeling. A
novel that will surprise fans of science-fiction and doomsday scenarios...”
Publisher’s Weekly STARRED review: “Bohacz’s vision of a
humanity that faces the need to evolve profoundly or face certain destruction
is as timely as today’s news and as chilling a doomsday scenario as any
ecological catastrophe can suggest...”
Sci-Fi Reader 4 Star review by S.J. Higbee: “This book manages
to do what all the best sci-fi does—provide a thought-provoking, alternative
viewpoint on the business of existence. I recommend you give it a go...”
My Take:
I don't know if I can explain just how much I enjoyed this book. Quite literally, from the very first page of Immortality I was hooked. At first it was simply wanting to find out what exactly was going on. Why the unexplained, sudden deaths? How bizarre and horrifying. Then, I was captivated by the main characters and their lives and how they managed to survive these events.
Mark Freedman, Nobel Prize winning molecular biologist, studies COBIC-3.7 and has many theories about this bacteria, but has no idea just how important it is. Mark's story line is quite interesting and very informative for the reader - especially from the scientific perspective.
Dr. Kathy Morrison works at the CDC and is called in to work on an answer to the unexplained deaths. She and Mark work together but have different ideas and reactions to the revelations they find.
There is also an army general, a police officer and a former gang member that the reader follows through the story. I found the different kinds of people, different backgrounds, different reactions to the events to be very compelling.
Not only was the actual plot riveting, but the questions asked and examined regarding environmental issues, military response, governmental response and responsibility and maybe most interesting, the way various groups of people react to the crisis were so well done and thought provoking.
I love a good apocalyptic story and Immortality certainly lived up to my expectations. I am looking forward to reading the sequel, Ghost of the Gods.
