How Like a God
In How Like a God, Rob Lewis gave his friend Edwin Barbarossa the Pearl of Immortality that had once belonged to Gilgamesh. Seven years later, the space shuttle ferrying Edwin home from a stint on the new moon colony catches fire. Everyone dies except Edwin. First he’s hailed as a hero. Then he disappears.
It’s up to Rob to rescue him from the man who will stop at nothing to take the secret of immortality for himself.
Part political thriller, part fantasy, part near-future SF, part family drama, Doors of Death and Life is both exciting and thoughtful, a literate excursion into X-Files territory.
“Brenda Clough has done it again, written a tight, suspenseful novel that is as exciting as it is thoughtful. Doors of Death and Life will keep you reading, not only for the action and gratifying depth of characterization, but for the questions it asks about the human capacity to heal or harm. This is a work as much about the complexities of friendship and familial love as it is an adventures. Clough tells a satisfying story indeed.” —Catherine Asaro
