Modern medicine has ended almost all involuntary death. If your brain and body are intact, you'll be back to normal within days. Cancer is eradicated. 3-D printers provide instant replacements for damaged organs. People's lives are continuing indefinitely. But Richard Barker doesn't see this as progress. He sees it as playing God, destroying a cycle of life and death that has served humanity for millennia. As Richard's philosophy gains a larger following, and he pulls his family into the fold, he pushes forward with the plan he's preaching-kill those who would have died if not for meddling doctors, and make sure they stay dead. Set as an alternate vision of today, Killing the Immortals delivers a terrifying version of reality where science has achieved one of humanity's most cherished dreams, and it's turning into a nightmare. What reviewers are saying about "Killing the Immortals:" "This is the kind of book that grabs you from the first page and never lets go."Killing The Immortals is a briskly paced intense examination of family, religion, and morality in a an almost Black Mirror-ish alternate reality where medical advancements have made dying a rarity."This isn't just a great storyline, but this book presents readers with a lot of philosophical points to think about: medical ethics, religion, love, morals. and more.
