Secret Service agent Ronan “Methusaleh” Dooley is brutally murdered, only to be restored to a vat-bred clone to hunt his killer. Brought back from the dead yet again, Dooley must navigate a near-future where mortality is a choice through memory backups and clone restoration. He faces the formidable challenge of uncovering a terrible conspiracy behind his own demise, all while operating within the constraints of a world where death is no longer final but a recoverable state.
The premise suggests a fast-paced, high-concept thriller that blends elements of hard-boiled detective fiction with advanced science fiction concepts. The narrative is likely to focus on action sequences and a central mystery, exploring the implications of technological immortality on crime and justice. The comparison to Lee Child and Altered Carbon indicates a tone that is gritty, action-oriented, and deals with complex, potentially dark, future scenarios. The book aims to deliver a cinematic experience through its narrative structure and high-stakes plot.
