About This Book

A secluded research team perfects a method to reanimate recently dead bodies within a limited time, and its lead scientist seeks legal counsel from a former governor. The narrative follows an unsettling public demonstration using medical apparatus to restore a corpse and the cascade of legal, ethical, and social dilemmas that follow. Through tense scenes and reflective passages, the story probes scientific ambition, the practical difficulties of reversing death, and the ambiguous human consequences for identity, consent, and society when mortality can be challenged.
