Product Description
Injured in a tragic skydiving accident, a dying man's consciousness is transferred into an experimental supercomputer in a daring bid to preserve his living essence. Now, trapped somewhere between disembodied awareness and a psychedelic world of trans-death reality known as the necrosphere, Justin Garret awakens from biological death to discover he's become the world's first digitized human consciousness... alive, inside a machine.
Justin carries a unique genetic factor that has made him the perfect trial subject for an experimental new technology developed by the brilliant neurophysicist research team of Drs. Luthor and Diana Cain. They have discovered a way to manipulate matter at its quantum level with the use of a specialized radiation-like force called the FIRE Field. This 'Force Infra-quantum Radiation Effect' can literally lock organic molecules into a state of perfect suspension, allowing both their physical properties and the information contained in their neurologic structures to be preserved indefinitely in a process known as Biostasis.
The Cains keep the theoretical underpinnings of biostasis a closely guarded secret, wishing to validate their unorthodox theories of consciousness and the nature of the supernatural before taking it public. This mysterious approach to science brings them into direct conflict with their secret financial benefactors however: a double-crossing hi-tech spy agency which has it's own classified agenda that includes evaluating the intelligence potential of Justin Garret's highly-prized "electro-consciousness."
Under experimental prodding by the husband-wife team of maverick researchers who saved his life, Justin is taught to become a "necronaut" - a trans-dimensional explorer who can travel back and forth at will between the realm of the living and the dead... visiting strange hyper-realistic planes of reality never before imagined. Cautiously at first and then with increasing abandon, Justin begins to experience incredible translations of space and time which draw him back to revisit the very evolution of self-awareness itself. His struggle to come to grips with his bizarre non-corporeal existence is further compounded by the strain of having to deal with his heartbroken and still very human wife Leah, whom he can only communicate with through the screen of a computer.
Torn apart by tragedy, the two lovers are given one last improbable chance to reach across the void and touch each other's souls during a daring attempt to link Justin's electro-conscious matrix directly into his wife's mind. Events move unexpectedly from dramatic to deadly though when the experiment is sabotaged and the necronaut finds himself trapped in a high stakes tug-of-war between his scientific caretakers and the enigmatic government agency looking to turn his half-human, half-digital meme into the ultimate weapon of cyber-espionage.
Deception, betrayal, senseless murder, a horrifying invasion of an innocent man's mind and a final courageous act of friendship set the stage for the shocking double-twist ending of this fast-paced scientific thriller -- one that will leave you reflecting on the nature of reality, and of our own uncertain place within it.
