Mia and Zakariah Davis risked their lives to secure an activated sample of the life-prolonging “Eternal virus” for their teenage son Rix—and while Zakariah survived, Mia didn’t. Overcome by grief, Zakariah is determined to contact her spirit in the afterlife, while Rix wants revenge, no matter the cost.
Niko, the teenage clone of Zakariah’s dead sister, has received the Eternal virus—and has been captured by vampires who drain her blood nightly for its rejuvenating effects. Rix intends to help Niko escape. And once they join forces, they will go in search of Mia’s murderer . . .
This action-packed neo-cyberpunk tale continues the story of Reconciliation, in which “themes of transcendence and family love play out against backdrops of real and virtual worlds” (Publishers Weekly).

An alien virus given to select humans grants the power of continual rejuvenation--eternal life. After Mia and Zak Davis acquire the virus for their son, Mia is brutally murdered, leaving Zak despondent and determined to connect with her spirit. When Nico, the teenaged clone of Zak's dead sister, receives the virus, she is kidnapped by "vampires" who seek to drain her blood for its market value. The sequel to The Bloodlight Chronicles: Reconciliation explores the repercussions of chemical immortality, the nature of religion, life beyond death, and the politics and ethics of revenge. VERDICT Set in a future where economic transactions are tied into virtual gaming, this elegantly written sf series features believable characters and powerful situations. Stanton wastes no words in his approach to language, creating a deceptively simple style that is both appealing and lucid.
