A novel by

 
 
In How Like a God, Rob Lewis gave his friend Edwin Barbarossa the Pearl of Immortality that had once belonged to Gilgamesh in exchange for a promise to keep Rob's mind-bending powers a secret. Seven years later the space shuttle ferrying Edwin home from a stint on the new moon colony catches fire. Everyone dies except Edwin. First he's hailed as a hero, then he disappears--and it's up to Rob to find him, rescue him, and help him outwit the smiling villain who will stop at nothing to take the secret of immortality for himself.

Part political thriller, part fantasy, part near-future SF, part family drama, Doors of Death and Life is both exciting and thoughtful, a literate excursion into X-Files territory.
