In How Like A God, Rob Lewis gave his friend Edwin Barbarossa the Pearl of Immortality that had once belonged to Gilgamesh in exchange for a promise to keep Rob's mind-bending powers a secret. Seven years later, the space shuttle ferrying Edwin home from a stint on the new moon colony catches fire.
Everyone dies except Edwin.
First he's hailed as a hero, then he disappears-and it's up to Rob to find him, rescue him, and help him discover who is moving heaven and earth to take the secret of immortality for himself.
Part political thriller, part family drama, part fantasy, part near-future SF, Doors of Death and Life is an exciting and thoughtful excursion into X-Files territory.
