"James L. Halperin - The First Immortal" - читать интересную книгу автора (Halperin James L)

“AN ENTERTAINING READ ... INTRIGUING ...
Keeps the reader riveted ... Halperin’s characters are multidimensional, and he excellently sets up their
emotional conflict and psychological motivations. ... A real page turner, and a most recommended read.”
—The California Aggie

“Fascinating and often has the ring of genuine prediction. As in Halperin’s first novel, The Truth
Machine, the technology is always front and center, but this is ultimately a story of people and the
political and sociological implications of near immortality.”
— www.amazon.com

“True science fiction projects logical extensions of what mankind already knows scientifically. A shining
example is The First Immortal ... Layman readers can follow the scientific terminology and complex
story lines without the hocus-pocus that often beclouds science fiction.”
—United Press International

“The first novel to capture in realistic fashion the inexorable march of spirit and technology that will almost
certainly transform us in the twenty-first century from mortals to immortals.”
—Life Extension

“Halperin’s future is so detailed and plausible that you find yourself expecting to wake to it the next day.”
—Ernest Lilly, SF Revu

“Halperin zeroes in on issues that could make a big difference in how we and our children live in the next
century. His novels combine the immediacy of realistic fiction with the verve and boldness of science
fiction. Here is a writer for any reader who likes to explore big ideas.”
—David Brin
