'Great story. Superbly written. If you like sci fi you will love this - if you like great writing, you will love this! Can't wait for the next book.' Not long after we abandoned the Earth, the first Life Extension Project was born. The L.E.P gifted its subjects with strength, vitality and youth, though only for those happy few deemed essential to humanity's survival. The masses still struggle, still strive, trying to outrun death. Now, only a handful of immortals remain, in a galaxy where their very existence has become a sin. David remembers the time before the Exodus, before the fleet, before the L.E.P that was born from the accident of his own immortality. For nearly two thousand years he has travelled the stars, learning, helping where he could, avoiding the eyes of the church, until a passenger boards his ship, a young woman filled with hope. Her presence will change the future forever.
