<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>The Remortal: A Science Fiction Story of Loss, of Love, of Resurrection, and Redemptioin. <p/>A man, called a Requestor, is so deeply in sorrow over the loss of his deceased father that he is driven to the brink of madness in an attempt to find a way to bring the deceased back to life. He finds a rogue scientist, called the Manufacturer, who has perfected a way to biologically print a human being and embue it with life. These individuals are called Remortals. The Manufacturer looks upon them as products; indeed, the book chapters describe each step in a way similar to that of a manufacturing assembly line. <p/>The process is complex and depends upon a unique and heretofore unknown method of infecting biologic material with life itself, which turns out to be a special type of infection that spreads creation, and not decay. The process requires a special series of steps to re-introduce the Remortal to the world of the living, involving a Receiving Room lined with specialized, memory inducing photgraphs and artefacts from the deceased. <p/>The father is remortalized, and returns to his son, but becomes enraged that he was brought back from the dead, because, as he informs the son, the dead do not want to be brought back to a world that has moved eyond them, leaving all they loved behind. The son realizes that remortalization is a work of self-centered, self-focused pity, and is not the heroic act he dreamed it would be. <p/>In the final Recall, the son must destroy both the Remortal, and himself, which returns both to the true Manufacturer of life itself. Ultimately, the manufactured product solves the issue spontaneously, leaving the son to discover the meaning of true love resting in the world of memory, and not the artificial, physical world.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Kenneth A.
