Zac Wilson is a daredevil with a secret. He can’t die or be injured
due to a serum given to him over a hundred years ago when he was
young. There are others like him and they form a family. Zac is still
trying to understand the death of a family member when two longevites
he didn’t know existed come to Harbor Vale, Michigan where he is
staying near friends.
The new longevites tell
of their family being decimated by deaths. This isn’t supposed to
happen, so what’s going on? Is time running out on the longevites,
or are they being targeted for some reason? Zac knows he must
find out.
This is the second
book in Amanda Stevens’ series. The characters are the ones from
the first book with the addition of the newly discovered longevites.
However, this is Zac’s story told from his point of view. I found
it rather difficult to like him in this book. He’s moody and
taciturn with his friends.
The plot moves
slowly. Aside from Zac trying to come to terms with himself and his
faith, not much happens. The family set out to solve the riddle of
why the longevites are dying, but the action drags.
I didn’t enjoy
this book as much as the first book. Being Christian SciFi, it lacks
some of the darker aspects of contemporary science fiction, so would
be appropriate for YA. If you want to read this book. I would
recommend reading the first book before you tackle it.
I received this book
from Shiloh Run Press for this review.
