1989 Edgar Award for Best First Novel (nominee)
In 1817, Mary Shelley looked beneath life's surface. What she saw were passionate people with unquenchable thirsts for knowledge, and tragic characters caught in the swirling momentum of a scientist who felt compelled to create. Mary Shelley gave us Dr. Frankenstein.
Now another Shelly peers into life's hidden depths to question and to probe.
JULIAN SOLO is a novel about a brilliant scientist who died...and yet lives, and who, having experienced this impossible transition, seeks to recreate the circumstances again and again.
Why cannot we use death to prolong life? Julian Solo asks. Why cannot death be made to serve, instead of to obliterate? Why cannot a man reach, with his hands and his heart, into that abyss from which there is no return, to defy death, overcome death, defeat death -- for the sake of the woman he loves?
Julian Solo is a man of integrity, an honorable scientist, a medical man on whom we can rely. He has given us his solemn promise that we can trust him.
His purpose is to conquer death and his journey is into the void. He wants us to come with him.
This is a book no reader will forget.
Genre: Mystery
