Notă biografică
For me, writing has always been a part-time hobby, a creative outlet pursued more for fun and satisfaction than for ambition. During my long career working for a safety testing company, I completed three novels: Dr Prozac, ForeverChild, and Victimless Crimes. Last year I retired and now have more time to write. The result was my latest novel: Windekind. I have also recently been re-examining some of my earlier work. At the time they were written, I made no real effort to market or distribute them. But one novel which I believe deserves a chance to reach more readers is the science fiction novel, ForeverChild. So I have dusted it off, made some changes, and have put together a second edition. Like Windekind, it will be available in both eBook and print formats on April 1, 2023.Since retiring, I have been living in the mountains of Vermont with my wife Diane and daughter Ash. We love to go for long hikes, cross-country ski, and work on restoring our house which was damaged by a fire last year. I really appreciate your support. Please feel free to write me at markwlavine@outlook.com. Thanks and happy reading!
Descriere
In the year 2315 you will live for hundreds of years and never age beyond eleven-years-old. That is, if you're one of the lucky ones. But the not-so-lucky ones are disturbingly close, and they’re threatening your safety, security, and even your deepest beliefs. Soon, it will be all-out war.
SFF World says "Mark Lavine has created a fast paced story that is well thought-out and well told. His vision of the future is fascinating, and definitely an original idea. It is actually quite thought-provoking in many ways, showing aspects of our present world and its values from a whole new perspective...All in all, an excellent, well-written story that had me hooked from the very first page."
Readers Favorite says "In the spirit of Brave New World, Mark Lavine has written a compelling science fiction tale with a strong message delivered in a pristine narrative style. The book is hard-hitting in the way it delves into authoritarianism, liberation, and experimentation. We want to believe that we have freedom of choice, and this must-read work will remind you why."
Three-hundred years into the future...
And the world has changed. Among a chosen few, life expectancy is now hundreds of years; these are the forever children, and science has found a way to keep them in a nearly endless childhood. Secure in their giant hives, they have left the outsiders, who must live natural lives, to fend for themselves.
This is the story of Kianno and Seelin, two children who find themselves trading places in this strange new world, one leading the life of a forever child and the other growing up in the anarchy of the outside world. Their lives come together again in surprising and unexpected ways, as they both become involved in a fierce struggle between the two worlds.
