Ending Forever
by Nicholas Conley

Axel Rivers can’t get his head above water. Throughout his life, he’s worn many hats — orphan, musician, veteran, husband, father—but a year ago, a horrific event he now calls The Bad Day tore down everything he’d built. Grief-stricken, unemployed, and drowning in debt, Axel needs cash, however he can find it.

Enter Kindred Eternal Solutions. Founded by the world’s six wealthiest trillionaires and billionaires, Kindred promises to create eternal life through mastering the science of human resurrection. With the technology still being developed, Kindred seeks paid volunteers to undergo tests that will kill and resurrect their body—again and again—in exchange for a check.

Axel signs up willingly, but when he undergoes the procedure—and comes back, over and over—what will he find on the other side of death?

WOW. I don’t even know where to start with this book, I enjoyed it so much. The imagery is amazing, and the way Conley weaves in Axel’s backstory to his present life is masterful. The way Kindred is run, and their facilities really bring to life the way corporate America feels if you aren’t part of the elite, and highlights the class disparities between the rich ruling class and those below them. Axel feels so real. You can feel his emotions sliding off the page and surrounding you. His experiences on the other side of life, while lying there dead, are unique and fascinating. I loved this take on what happens when you die, and will probably be reading this again in the future!
