Synopsis
The Immortality Wars series continues with the first book of the second trilogy...
After thinking he dies in combat, a young warrior learns he was in a world created as a human experiment by a ruthless society over 500 years in the future. He must draw upon his combat skills and spiritual power to fight amidst a galactic war whose twelve bases are in a deadly quest for immortality.
It is 2562 Old Earth Time. One reality, created by scientists, technicians, and a corrupt ruling council on a distant exoplanet seeking immortality, erupts into their own. He brings with him all the mortal capacity, knowledge, and prowess in combat he has gained through their experimentation on him.
A sergeant in an elite company of warriors, Pall Warren brings these acquired powers of a medieval time to this realm of sophistication. He also brings with him a rare spiritual ability not seen in 540 years.
Pall is sought by human greed, the morbid manipulation of scientific curiosity, the hunger for religious truth, and the might of cyborg masters. He must fight his way through a theater of war far beyond anything he has ever before witnessed or imagined.
Yet through his perilous journey in two dominions, he is sustained by the love and prayer of a mysterious and beautiful woman from his former life.
