Mayra Calvani

Promo blurb:

In the mid-21st century, the human race stopped aging. Those who know why aren't talking, and the few who are brave enough to ask questions tend to disappear. To an elite few, The Change means long life and health, but to the increasing masses, it means starvation, desperation, and violence.

Four centuries after The Change, Grace Harper, a blacklisted P.I., sets off on a mission to find the man responsible for it all and solicit his help to undo The Change -- if he's still alive.


Author bio:

Christine Amsden has been writing for as long as she can remember, and always with an element of the strange or speculative. She believes we can learn a lot about ourselves when we see what real people do in extraordinary situations. Christine is a native of St. Louis who now lives in the Kansas City area with her husband and two children.

What reviewers are saying:

” The Immortality Virus is a dark dystopian Science Fiction novel by Christine Amsden. It’s an action-packed, fast-paced and thrilling book, spiced up with mystery and sprinkled with a tiny bit of romance. Everything is perfectly balanced, making this book a great treat for every Science Fiction fan. …”

Evie at Bookish

“…I really enjoyed this book. It flowed well and kept my attention. It was a well written, thought-out storyline with lots of action to keep everything moving forward. Grace Harper is a strong character with a wonderfully sarcastic wit who prefers working alone to get the job done. Ms. Amsden takes this strength and starts bending it as we see Grace gradually learning to trust others and realizing it’s not a weakness to accept help….”

To Read, Perchance to Dream

“…I was so engrossed in this book that I finished it in a day. I love how this book is something new instead of the same old romance story or action story. It’s something that I’ve never read about in a book and definitely a unique topic….”

Books Ahoy!

“…This book is imaginative and quick to read. If you enjoy urban futuristic stories you will enjoy this. The author even mixed in a tiny bit of romance that always makes life worth living and books worth reading. I hope the future is better than this.”

Book Him Danno!

Steve (stevenw) | 3 comments Hi Mayra - address? Couldn't find it on the book's website and your Goodreads page says you are not able to accept messages through that system.

Had replied to an email, though it sounds like it didn't work though? Please advise?

Thanks!

Steve

Dylan McIntosh (cognative) I'd be interested in doing a review as well. I'm just about to start another book myself. E-book or print is fine for me. I have a nook and iPad.

Dylan McIntosh (cognative) Duh. Just realized that this was an old thread.


message 13: by Therese (new)

Therese | 7 comments Dylan, I made the same mistake. Vincent is going to mail me his copy. If you msg me your address I'll drop it in the mail after I'm done if you'd like. Vincent says it's well used but I'm sure it can go through a few more people.
