Free from the limits of flesh and blood, he wanted to live forever, but now that he's lost what he cares about the most, forever is too long, much too long.After suspending himself for decades he is about to enter a virtual world called "Home" to take one last look around. But Home is not what he expected and what he finds will change everything. When is forever too long? "In this quiet but far-reaching thriller, author McCarter explores the essence of what it means to be human... Sci-fi as it should be: engaging, moving, and grand in scope". - Kirkus Review
