For fans of Andy Weir, Blake Crouch, and The Three-Body Problem comes a bold, futuristic, genre-bending debut challenging the conventions of religion, science, and political power.

On the 100th anniversary of JFK's challenge to land a man on the Moon, visionary US President Vince Quinto challenges America with an even more audacious goal: to conquer death itself before the century is out by making human resurrection a scientific reality.

As the 21st century draws to a close, advances in genetics, quantum physics, and artificial intelligence converge to make Quinto's Challenge possible. The final breakthrough -- hailed as the Theory of Everything -- is made by Deeley Carr, a young, shy quantum physicist recruited to work on a top-secret US government project.

However, those privy to this highly classified science realize that the power to bring about immortality doesn't just open a Pandora's box of ethical and existential questions, it is a double-edged sword -- if it falls into the wrong hands, it would become the ultimate weapon of surveillance and control.

Quinto's Challenge is the first book in the Dawn of Immortality series, a sweeping science fiction epic that introduces the ethical, political, and human questions that emerge when humanity attempts to conquer death. An unmissable debut that raises unsettling questions about the future of humanity.
