Audie Award Finalist, Literary Fiction, 2014 A powerful debut novel when a man, frozen in the Arctic snow for greater than a century, awakens in the present day and detects the greatest discovery is love.... Dr. Kate Philo and her scientific exploration team make a breathtaking discovery in the Arctic: the body of a man buried deep in the snow. Like a scientist in a groundbreaking project run by the egocentric and paranoid Erastus Carthage, Kate has brought small creatures - plankton, krill, shrimp - back to life for brief periods of time. But the team's methods have never been attempted on greater life-forms. Heedless of the potential consequences, Carthage orders that the frozen man be cut back to the lab in Boston and reanimated. The effort is named "The Lazarus Project". As the man begins to gain back his stories, the team learns that he was - is - a judge, Jeremiah Grain, and the last thing he remembers is falling overboard into the Arctic Ocean in 1906. When reports of the project and Jeremiah Grain breaks, it ignites a mass media firestorm and protests by spiritual fundamentalists. Thrown alongside one another by fate, Kate and Jeremiah develop closer. But the time clock is ticking and Jeremiah's new lease of life is slipping away. With Carthage planning to exploit Jeremiah while he can, Kate must decide how far she actually is willing to visit protect the man she has come to love. A gripping, poignant, and carefully original thriller, Stephen P. Kiernan's provocative debut novel raises disturbing questions about the very character of life and mankind - man as a scientific subject matter, as a tabloid novelty, as a full time income being: a attention.
