About this book
"Mortality provides the certainty of the grave. Being privy to that knowledge has brought our species a measure of solace; there's an end to our sorrows. Amortality takes away that certainty, creating its own peculiar anxiety." Death taunts us as we age. Despite our efforts, we inevitably grow frail until we draw our last breath. Imagine a drug that parries death's taunt by giving us amortality—life without death—and reversal of the aging process. Should we embrace this elixir or reject it as being contrary to the laws of God? A large pharmaceutical company discovers SOMITRA, a drug giving mice amortality. Elijah-Co keeps the discovery under wraps as it feverishly tries to duplicate its effects on human subjects. When word is leaked to the public, a culture war breaks out between religious fundamentalists and Grizzleds, senior citizens who want the right to choose amortality for themselves. SOMITRA picks up where the first book, ELIJAH-CO, left off. Dr. Lars Sorenson returns, facing the consequences of his desperate attempt to save his beloved wife, Kate. The reader is taken into the lives of clandestine drug developers, religious zealots, mercenaries, and an aging population who want to experience eternal life on Earth.
