An Awesome Journey

An Awesome Journey is a poignant story that is an uplifting reading experience filled with mystery, romance, and humor presented against a background of the exciting, extreme-life-extension-movement now going on in our world of face-paced advancements in technology.
The author, David Pizer, first realized how short a lifetime is in 1953 when he was in sixth grade. Back then school girls had slumber parties in one of the girls bedrooms and boys had camp outs in one of the boys back yards.
David and his friend Max set up a tent in Max's parents back yard and they were sitting there looking at the massive array of stars that filled the unpolluted, smog-free skies in Phoenix Arizona in 1953. Max's dad brought out 3 cups of hot chocolate and the three of them sat there sipping as Max's dad explained a lot about the stars, theories on the birth of the universe, and things like that. Max's dad was a professor at Phoenix Community College, while David was in sixth grade.
When dad explained about the formation of a star and the billions of years they 'lived" David was mesmerized!
Max and his dad then went back into the house to make some more hot chocolate and get some marshmallows, coat hangers a bag of charcoal and some matches, while they left David all alone in the backyard to gaze at the billions of bright stars in the sky, each one with a life-span of billions of years.
As David sat there entranced in deep thought, a very sad feeling came over him. David realized that even if a person lived to be 100 years old, that on a cosmic scale a 100-year life span is a very, very brief time.
Now David is convinced that only up to a 100-year life span may no longer be our sad fate, and the latest discoveries in life extension technology seem to suggest human aging may soon be reversable and quality life spans may reach much, much longer than 100 years.
"An Awesome Journey" is the story, an awesome journey is going to be the feeling you get as you read this exciting novel.
