A medical thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat.
Man, this was a slog to get through. It's technically well written and all, and I really like some of the themes and ideas explored. But my god, it took several hundred pages for anything to happen. The Reverend and George just killed any momentum the book had.

Cryogenic suspense thriller
So if you're s science fiction fan who finds criogenecs fascinating, you might find this book worth the read. The technology and methods described in the book are perhaps somewhat outdated, since it's been 20 years since the book was written, but it's an interesting read just the same.

I thought this book was very interesting especially from the start up to about the middle and then it kind of fell off for me. Was expecting a better ending and i feel that the religious concepts and the serial killers character did help fill in the gaps with something to think about but also made the book drag on way longer than it needed to. Enjoyed the read over all and would def. reccomend it to people interested in a hard sci-fi book on cryonics but i also feel it gets a little too deep wit

This ended up being pure crap, I can't imagine why Gregory Benford would have put his name on this, I see that it's written by Sterling Blake... Who ever wrote this, it's crap.
