"Loved it. Unique...one person's story told beautifully...read the entire thing today and didn't want to put it down...definitely recommend" ~ On R.A.C.H.E.L. Undying
If an android is built to mimic humans, are her pain, joy, and love real? Or simply an artifact of programming? In the mid-2300s, Earth is devastated by climate change. With the planet failing, a team of scientists must race to create the ultimate scout: R.A.C.H.E.L. Tasked with finding a new home for mankind, by the time Rachel is ready, it’s too late. Instead of being the one to lead humanity to the stars, she is left behind by the very people she is meant to save.
R.A.C.H.E.L Undying follows Rachel as she struggles to find her place in a ruined Earth where only a fraction of humanity remains. Her original purpose lost to her forever, Rachel has to come to terms with her new reality, and, in doing so, discovers that being human doesn’t just mean being made of flesh and blood.
Everyone dreams of being able to fly. What if you could have that power, and fame and riches to go with it? Would you take it? Even if it came at a terrible cost?
With only a thousand born per generation, Fliers have been revered in human society for millennia. They are provided with every comfort and offered highly-paid positions of power. That power, though, has a catch. All Fliers die before they turn 40 years old.
In 2036, teenagers Lindsey Tescher and Derek Stalden have lived in luxury ever since they were revealed to be Fliers several years ago. But just before their high school graduation, they uncover a dark secret that challenges everything they thought they knew about the world’s Fliers. To survive the consequences of their discovery, they must journey far from home and endure harrowing hardship, unraveling painful secrets of the past. And in the process, their struggle to find the truth of who Fliers really are might just change the course of history.
