Dilution

By Steven Novotny

An immortal is dead. The cybernetic implants, the nano-tech repair vaccines, and even the taboo synaptic imprinting--all useless. Two hundred years of wisdom, decision-making, and world leadership--lost. Making the inconceivable even more so, the death is deemed murder.Anton, the now masterless first disciple of the College of Analytic History does not accept that his immortal is dead. Immortals don't die--that is why they're called immortals. Anton will see his master live: through his persistence, his revenge and even an unproven process to reconstruct the immortal's mind, using his own brain as the raw material.Amid the social chaos flaring in the uncertainty of global loss, detective Erich Descar is tasked to bring quick resolution to the unprecedented situation, to bring closure in any way possible. But he finds himself inexplicably alone in seeking the truth. Of all the colleges dedicated to the fifteen immortal world leaders, only one first disciple, the scholarly Verit Verwal, chooses to help Descar as he unravels the secluded world of the immortals, the inner workings of their monastic colleges, and secrets unknown to even the men and women who zealously serve the centuries-old sages.Navigating through plots, conspiracies, and deception, Descar and Verit reveal a motive driven by the state of humanity itself. Now they must find who might realize and most hate the loss of human ability that has come from centuries of peace, prosperity, and dependence.
