Icor Regrowth Programme, Arizona, 2070: sixty-four years after his own violent death, Nate is resuscitated using the body of an anonymous donor. Despite the advances in science, neurotechnologist Dr Persis Bandelier and her colleague Garth Bannerman never expected their covert operation to be a success. So when the patient responds to their treatment, no one is ready. And all too soon, an investigative journalist blows the cover of the sensational waking. The news story threatens both to expose the identity of the mysterious donor and unravel the truth behind Sheehans murder all those years ago . . . 'Riveting. Think Tess Gerritsen meets Philip K. Dick' Mo Hayder

“Nate remembered seeing photographs of the world‘s oldest people and being enthralled by age of that magnitude; the plate-sized liver spots, the purplish blotches and warts crawling over the skin as though they were breaking down the epidermis and turning it into a rugged, warped map of each passing year.”

(The Waking: T. M. Jenkins)
