AN EXPANSIVE NEW STANDALONE THRILLER IN MICHAEL C. GRUMLEY’S REVIVAL SERIES, EXPLORING HUMANITY’S THIRST FOR IMMORTALITY AT ANY COST.
Technology never works well the first time. Or even the second. Army veteran John Reiff is living proof.
John is revived in the back of a dilapidated ambulance, on the run from a shadowy organization that is desperate to take him back. He is the first one, their archetype, and they need to know what happened after his escape. What is happening to his body and his mind. And they need to know now.
Because Reiff knows things he shouldn’t. About them and about what they are hiding. A secret that has been in cold storage for several hundred years. And the insidious, methodical plan that has been in motion for half a century.
John Reiff is their key—a problem and the solution. A lab rat gone rogue at the worst possible time. But they will find him. They have to. And they will stop at nothing to get what they want.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Grumley's riveting sequel to Deep Freeze successfully steers the series into full-tilt sci-fi madness. After dying in a freak bus accident, U.S. Army veteran John Reiff was revived as part of a covert research program that altered his DNA. Twenty-three years later, Reiff has been frozen again and stored in a cabin in Utah. His body is removed from storage by a group of his apparent allies, who also make off with the machine that brought Reiff to life. They've retrieved Reiff because he's become a subject of interest for a shadowy group of power brokers called "The Nine," whose members want to know if Reiff's freezing had any adverse effects. If not, they plan to freeze themselves to survive a mysterious event. Once Reiff's rescuers bring him back to life, they learn he may be connected to a bizarre discovery involving space travel, which carries massive implications for the future of the planet. Grumley tosses a lot of balls in the air, but he juggles them all nimbly, keeping the plot's many surprises well concealed without sacrificing pace. Blake Crouch fans will love this.
