More about the book

Jeffrey Lockhart's father, Ross, is a billionaire in his 60s with a younger wife, Artis Martineau, whose health is failing. Ross is the primary investor in a remote and secret compound where death is exquisitely controlled and bodies are preserved until a future time when biomedical advances and new technologies can return them to a life of transcendent promise. Conflicted, Jeff joins Ross and Artis at the compound to say 'an uncertain farewell' to her as she surrenders her body.
