This is an impressive first novel for this writer. It has a lot to offer---romance, adventure, science fiction. The hero, Derek, loves his fiancee, Janine, so much that instead of letting her die of cancer, he has her frozen. Janine is revived in the year 2032, and the world of the near future Tindell describes is fascinating and very believable. Janine has to deal with this the reality of having slept for more than 35 years, of waking up in this world that is at times familiar and at other times so very different, of dealing with her feelings for Derek, who's now in his 70s, and his war-hero son Matt, and she also realizes that the young daughter she once knew is now a grandmother. Plus, there's someone out there trying to kill all the revived Eternals, and Janine's next on the list. This book grabs your interest right away and keeps you hanging on. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll get some thrills, and in the end you'll put it down reluctantly and ask when this writer's next book is coming out.

"Revived" is one the best science fiction books I've read in years. It is a deeply-felt human story of a man who places his dying love in suspended animation and then faces a new relationship with her decades later. The world of the future created in this novel is not only exciting but also intriguing because the descriptions are based on advances in science and technology that are underway today. In other words, what you read about the future in "Revived" is the way it might really be. Plus there is mystery and suspense -- it's a completely enjoyable book. I couldn't put it down. Give it a chance and you will glad you did.

An excellent book. It kept my interest throughout and is very well written. The author has evidently done extensive research prior to writing. He maintains the suspense level throughout the book. It was difficult to put the book down once I started. This is a book that one wants to read in one sitting just to see what the ending will be.

I think this book has the potential to be a best seller and might well make number one on the list. I can see the possibilities of a movie coming from this book.

I look forward to additional books by this author.

D. James Tindell's book is a worthy first novel which takes a look into the not so distant future and involves the reader in a fast-paced, complex story of romance, science, ethics, and metaphysics. The characters are well drawn and you cannot help but put yourself in the positions of the two main characters, the man who goes to any measure to save the life of his true love and the woman he saves but who ends up awakening in a world where everything she knows is gone or has changed.
