The Waking (SIGNED)

the long version

Los Angeles, 2006: Dr. Nate Sheehan is murdered in a parking lot. His wife, also a doctor, hopes to rescue at least a part of him for cryonic preservation; therefore, she performs an unprecedented operation. Gamma Gulch Penitentiary, California, 2069: twenty-six-year-old Duane Williams is about to die in the death chamber for the rape and murder of a woman. Icor Regrowth Programme, Arizona, 2070: sixty-four years after his own death, Nate is resuscitated, using the body of an anonymous donor. Dr. Persis Bandelier and her colleague never expected their covert operation to be a success. So when the patient responds to the treatment, no one is ready when the press blows the cover of the "waking," which threatens to expose the identity of the mysterious donor and the truth behind Sheehan's murder.
