Vita Aeterna / Outliers
(2022)(A book in the Vita Aeterna series)
An omnibus of novels by Jay Allan Storey
Vita Aeterna is Dead - Long Live Vita Aeterna!
Since his 'death' forty years ago, Alex Barret has been hiding deep in the Dregs, with only a trio of dogs: Shake, Rattle, and Roll, as his companions. During his absence, the Elite and the Corps have regained control after the short lived Rebel incursion into the First Circle. The Rebel movement has expanded dramatically, but still lacks the strength to overthrow the all-powerful Elite.
A mysterious message reaches Alex from an unknown source, implying that there may be another 'Outlier' with his incredible response to the Appraisal process — a girl. The message claims that the girl is in the cross-hairs of Vita Aeterna, the secret organization supposedly crushed by the Rebel revolt forty years ago.
Emerging from exile and returning to the outside world, Alex once again finds himself on the run as he desperately searches for the girl.
Could the message hold the answer to Alex's quest for someone to share his spectacularly long life? Can he prevail against the Elite and their Corps minions, and find her?
Genre: Science Fiction
