This is poet Jason Mott's first step into fiction, and what a debut it
is! The premise of the book is the returning of long dead people, now
alive again and the same age as when they died. They appear, at times,
very far from where they came from. Governments around the world begin
to organize getting them back to their families, but as more and more
people return, things get crazier and crowded as tensions rise. There
are so many issues that come up in this situation, regarding morality,
religion, humanity (on several levels), civil rights, martial law,
family dynamics and so very, very much more. This is a fascinating
book, and it seems that this will be a series of sorts, and is already
optioned for television in 2014. I can't imagine a better book for book
clubs--there is sooooooo much to think about and discuss in this very
impressive book.
