About the book
Dr. Michelle Brown pioneers a revolutionary biotechnology: reanimating the long-dead through advanced cryonics.
Her first subject, Maryanne, awakes after 133 years, her memory wiped, her body restored. But as this breakthrough captures global attention, it triggers a dangerous chain reaction: sabotage, murder, and the rise of AASID—a secretive global order bent on silencing Maryanne’s past.
Forced to flee Gemini City for Mars, Michelle races to protect her discovery and unlock the secrets buried in Maryanne’s DNA—secrets that could reshape humanity’s future or lead to its downfall.
