Cryo

Louis King is a college history professor in 2024 when a sudden collapse reveals inoperable brain cancer. Facing death, he agrees — mainly for his wife Violet's sake — to be cryogenically frozen in the hope of a future cure.

He wakes in 2231 to a transformed world: the country he knew is gone, absorbed into a vast empire built from the ashes of a cataclysmic war. At its heart stands Arcadia, a massive walled city that looks like a utopia to the favored citizens living within its gilded comfort.

Assigned to Arcadia's lower classes as a Scout, Louis learns that the city's peace is bought with exploitation and slavery. As he forms new bonds — with a fellow Scout named Rose among them — he is forced to choose between settling into his new life and joining those working to tear the system down.

Cryo is Book 1 of Blake Fisher's Cryo Series.
