Představte si svět, ve kterém není nic důležitějšího, než lidské zdraví. A kde věda pokročila natolik, že je poměrně snadné jít dlouhověkosti naproti. Přesně v takovém světě žije Lea. V práci je velice úspěšná a díky svému odhodlání a neotřesitelné víře ve zdravý životní styl tak, jak ho káže Ministerstvo, má možnost využívat výhod takzvaných náhrad, díky nímž byste netipovali, že jí je ve[...]

In this debut set in near future NYC—where lives last 300 years and the pursuit of immortality is all-consuming—Lea must choose between her estranged father and her chance to live forever.
Lea Kirino is a “Lifer,” which means that a roll of the genetic dice has given her the potential to live forever—if she does everything right. And Lea is an overachiever. She’s a successful trader on the New York exchange—where instead of stocks, human organs are now bought and sold—she has a beautiful apartment, and a fiancé who rivals her in genetic perfection. And with the right balance of HealthTech™, rigorous juicing, and low-impact exercise, she might never die.
But Lea’s perfect life is turned upside down when she spots her estranged father on a crowded sidewalk. His return marks the beginning of her downfall as she is drawn into his mysterious world of the Suicide Club, a network of powerful individuals and rebels who reject society’s pursuit of immortality, and instead chose to live—and die—on their own terms. In this future world, death is not only taboo; it’s also highly illegal. Soon Lea is forced to choose between a sanitized immortal existence and a short, bittersweet time with a man she has never really known, but who is the only family she has left in the world.
