Being dead doesn’t mean you have to stop living!
Working Stiffs: At a time when civil liberties have been eroded and unemployment has exceeded Great Depression levels, nanotechnology provides the ability to reanimate the recently dead. Far from zombies, but nothing like their former selves, “Revivants” are a ready source of cheap labor able to perform simple, routine tasks. Great news for some sectors, but for many, the economic and social impact is devastating.
You have to admire Scott Bell’s dry humor, creativity, and expertise with fight scenes. He’s got it all covered. This book is science fiction in its purest form and a delight to read.
Amazon Review:
“If I could give this book 10 stars I would. Not only was it beautifully written, the plot was well thought out and uncannily prescient given today’s political and technological climate. The story took place in the 2050’s and the US was in sorry shape. The government sought to mislead its citizens and used its medical system to kill off the elderly and terminally ill and to bring them back as revivalists, who were programmed through nanobots to do the work of the government. The main character, Joe Warren, was a wisecracking risk taker who played a pivotal role in working with those opposing the government as well as seemingly working with the government. This is one of those books you can’t put down. Well written, great characters and fantastic plot. Highly recommended.!!” (Library Thing Early Reviewers)
Don’t stop there, though! He’s got a series going about an ex-Marine who’s a magnet for trouble, Abel Yeager:
