David Galloway can't die. How many lifetimes can God expect one man to live? Over a century old, David Galloway isolates himself from the mortal humans who die or desert him by making a quiet life as a used bookstore owner in Northern Michigan. But then he spots a news article about a man who, like him, should be dead. Daredevil celebrity Zachary Wilson walked away unscathed from what should have been a deadly fall. David tracks the man down, needing answers. Soon David discovers a close-knit group of individuals as old as he is who offer the sort of kinship and community he hasn't experienced for decades--but at what cost? David finds himself keeping secrets other than his own. . .protecting more than himself alone. He'll have to decide what's worth the most to him--security or community. When crimes come to light that are older than any mortal, he fears the pressure is more than he can stand. What does God require of him, and is David strong enough to see it through?
The way Stevens writes is absolutely amazing. I was always locked in on the story and couldn’t wait to see what happened next. I loved the constant occurrence of conflicts, resembling how life isn’t just a single conflict, but with a fantasied twist. The concept of a longevite and being Christian really makes you stretch your understanding of our relationship with Him. Being able to actually know God for a century is so admirable. It causes the question to be asked: Would you be able to trust God in this world for so long?
What if you were immortal?
