Bright Eternity: a novel (The Brightness)

Description

Imagine a new technology that can cheat death—for a price. How much would you pay for eternity?

The NewEden startup claims its scientific breakthroughs will add decades to your life. They’re even shooting for the biggest prize of them all—redesigning the human species to conquer death forever. Clients are ecstatic about NewEden, but their families are worried. Is all the hype hiding a darker agenda?

That’s when gutsy photojournalist Carmen Norrell decides to infiltrate the program and uncover its secrets. Who is she to trust—NewEden or its critics? Carmen has never backed down from a challenge, but her gut tells her that behind NewEden’s charismatic leadership there may be lurking a danger like none she’s faced before.

With her own life on the line, Carmen must grapple with disturbing questions about her reasons for living—and her willingness to risk it all.

What would you give in exchange for your life? What is the price of a soul?

Fans of Christian science fiction classics, such as C. S. Lewis’s Space Trilogy, will enjoy Bright Eternity. The questions Lewis asked in postwar Britain are still relevant in postmodern America. Ranging from funny to frightening to thought provoking, Bright Eternity will keep you turning pages until its riveting conclusion. A former research scientist, author Daniel Zeigler wants to move the faith-versus-reason dialog in a new direction. Bright Eternity is volume three in the Brightness Trilogy.
