Bodhi Rising

di Andrew Sweet (Autore)

Hesperia Publishing, 2024

Some diseases are still fatal, even in 2201. An experimental treatment might save Bodhi, but at what cost? Bodhi Rawls already knows that a normal life is out of the question - his mother fled arrest for grand theft human. And his mother's best friends are genetically altered clones. Oh, and he suffers from a blood disorder that will kill him before his sixteenth birthday. Christine Hamilton relives the same day over and over in her coma - the day her parents died in a fatal car crash. Meanwhile, her grandfather schemes to save the last heir to the Hamilton family empire. His desperation yields a treatment that will save a life, but cost a life. Bodhi's only chance at survival is to willingly take the life of another, a high price that he suffers to pay. His sole kindred spirit, the only other survivor of the procedure, is destined for greatness, and she knows it. The world's first two immortals circle each other in a merciless orbit of love, murder, and betrayal. Bodhi Rising takes place in the same dystopian future as Models and Citizens, where the climate has moved on, taking with it the jobs and dreams of the people. Models, genetically altered clones, like to work the jobs others won't and are hated for it. Once, only escape bore the death penalty. Now? No model is immune in this thrill-packed continuation of the Models and Citizens saga! With a splash of Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom by Cory Doctorow mixed in with a hint of Les Miserables by Victor Hugo, this novel captures you in the first sentence as Bodhi struggles with his disease and never lets you go until the end when the sad yet hopeful tale bolts its way toward completion.
