Official synopsis Publisher
Helen and Richard Green were looking forward to having their family and friends back together. It’s been a long time since they all died. And Helen was going to enjoy saying ‘I told you so’ to all the doubters who’d said their idea of being frozen and revived in the future, was mad. Of course they’d get here in a different way. They were going to be retrieved from the past, at the very point they died! iSys, the descendant of a long forgotten Internet, had developed the ability to enter the timestream, and map the atomic structure of people’s brains, and replicate them in artificial bodies. It was providing immortality to all humans (who iSys deemed fit) without impacting time. People still died, so nothing changed. They just found themselves waking in a heaven we’d created for ourselves. But some of these ‘retrievees’ are being snatched by a mysterious black form, and iSys discovers the disturbing truth that links the victims together. And the consequences could mean the end of the universe itself!
