Lazarus Rising

Lazarus is a genetically engineered super-soldier who has died and been brought back. Now he wants to know who built him, and why. The answer lies in a conspiracy tied to his creation.

As he digs, Lazarus is drawn into a plot that endangers the government of the solar system and the people close to him. Several factions pull at the story, and almost no one in the cast is clean.

This is the third book in the Lazarus Saga, by David Sherman and Dan Cragg. It is space opera built on hard science fiction, set in a future where the border between human and machine has worn thin. Lazarus narrates in the first person.

The tone is dark and mysterious, and the pace is fast. The plot is complex, and the world takes in many technologies and cultures. Violence is graphic, and a loved one's death runs through the story. Romance and found family play no central part. The book is written for adults.

The question driving it is what Lazarus was made for, and what the truth will cost him and those around him.
