"For fans of Andy Weir, Blake Crouch, and The Three-Body Problem comes a bold, futuristic, genre-bending debut challenging the conventions of religion, science, and political power."
On the 100th anniversary of JFK's challenge to land a man on the Moon, visionary US President Vince Quinto challenges America with an even more audacious goal: to conquer death itself before the century is out by making human resurrection a scientific reality.
As the 21st century draws to a close, advances in genetics, quantum physics, and artificial intelligence converge to make Quinto's Challenge possible. The final breakthrough-hailed as the Theory of Everything-is made by Deeley Carr, a young, shy quantum physicist recruited to work on a top-secret US government project. However, those privy to this highly classified science realize that the power to bring about immortality doesn't just open a Pandora's box of ethical and existential questions, it is a double-edged sword-if it falls into the wrong hands, it would become the ultimate weapon of surveillance and control. Quinto's Challenge, the first book in the Dawn of Immortality series, is a sweeping science fiction epic that introduces the ethical, political, and human questions that emerge when humanity attempts to conquer death.
