Description
Book Synopsis“It is to me that we owe our immortality, and this is the story that proves it beyond all doubt.” With this sentence Rene Belletto begins a novel that compresses every genre he has worked in - thriller, science fiction, experimental literature, horror - into one breathless narrative in which what is at stake is nothing less than our own immortality.

Kirkus"This madcap, metaphysical mystery ably fits perpetual motion machines, immortality, and blood-sacrifice sects into 88 brisk and brainy pages. . . . Elegant and smart, this novella leaves readers with questions that prove incredibly difficult to untangle."—
