Review\n"Like Sam Sunborn, Charles Levin's thriller saga is "Still Not Dead". (Sorry. I had to.) Ashaki LaSalam has returned, hungry for revenge, with a terrifying plan that could spell doom for the United States. This latest book is as chilling as it is thrilling, and I simply couldn't put it down! This series is truly speculative political intrigue at its best." --Jo Niederhoff, San Francisco Book Review\nWhen you fade away, what's left?" Memories and motives. Sam's son is angry at the constant comings and goings of his father, even if his father no longer walks among them.\nThriller readers, especially those who enjoyed the prior Sam Sunborn stories in the series, will find Still Not Dead a fitting, compelling read that adds another adventure into the mix of Sam's ongoing escapades, which continue even beyond the traditional grave.\nFamily ties and angst don't end with the digital world, as Sam finds out in his non-corporeal existence. Monica is angry with him, his son is dismayed, and work pulls him to the world of the living with yet another futuristic crime to solve.\nThis task requires wife Monica's help to stop a deadly female terrorist who has escaped prison with a new plan to launch a mass amnesia attack on America using a neural weapon.\nIt may take a presence from beyond the grave to stop her, but Sam is limited in his new milieu, while his deadly adversary employs all the options of the physical world in her quest to weaponize and attack the mind.\nAs D.C. investigators Michelle and Rich explore "wild ass theories," readers receive a truly haunting story of a digitized personality who refuses to quit, and who remains as engaged in the world of the living as when he had a body.\nAlthough Charles Levin's story joins others in the series, newcomers need have no prior familiarity with past events to appreciate this stand-alone thriller. It takes a few chapters to absorb the milieu Sam operates from, but when readers do, Sam's world and that of the terrorists who plot another devious attack fueled by high technology comes to life.\nLevin excels in crafting a cat-and-mouse series of encounters that revolve not just around Sam, but his wife Monica, his son Evan, and the technology that crashes his reappearance in their family just as she's drawing back from asking him for a divorce.\nFrom the psychological challenges of living as an uploaded digitized personality to relationships challenged by physical and non-corporeal entities, Levin creates a thriller that operates on both personal and international political arenas.\nReaders who look for gripping action both in the field and at home, fueled by high-tech snafus and challenges, will find Still Not Dead a powerful story. It operates well on both intrigue and psychological levels, creating a thriller that is unpredictable and hard to put down. 
-- Diane Donovan, Senior Editor, Midwest Book Review\nSTILL NOT DEAD, the new fast-paced thriller from the bestselling author of the NOT SO DEAD Trilogy.\n“This latest book is as chilling as it is thrilling, and I simply couldn't put it down! This series is truly speculative political intrigue at its best." --Jo Niederhoff, San Francisco Book Review\nSam Sunborn is dead. But is he really? Sam is not physically here, and his wife Monica resents him for deserting her and leaving their son fatherless.
