AfterLife
by SP Cloward
AfterLife
Prior to recorded history, a
small genetic mutation occurred that created a race of humans now found among
every civilization in every corner of the globe. Unrecognizable to the rest of
mankind but living among us and dependent upon humans for survival, this race is
known as Mortui; those whose spirits do not sever from their bodies when they die. They are the
source of all living dead legends.
At the time
of his premature death, Wesley Lohmann discovers he belongs to this select
group. Wes' transition plunges him
into the center of a struggle between those who seek to coexist peacefully with
humans and those who wish to use and rule them, a struggle that carries over
into the treacherous world of dreams. The delicate balance human and post-human
societies have maintained for millennia is threatened by a recent scientific
discovery that offers Mortui the hope of returning to human life, and human
sensation, but at a terrible cost. As he struggles with new and past
relationships and tries to find meaning for his continued existence, Wes
discovers within himself the true meaning of being alive.
AfterLife transcends the typical zombie
or vampire genre and audience to present a plausible explanation of where such
stories come from in an unsettling but believable way. Even those who usually
shy away from this type of science fiction are falling prey to the “what if”
question that makes this book so unique and is attracting readers who typically
enjoy other types of fiction.
