Afterloop

Andrew J Brown

In a future where God is dead what if there was a company that could guarentee your afterlife with a pill. Would you take it?

 

The Eternity Pill monitors your environment and a moment before certain death alters your perception to make your last moment feel like a thousand years in a virtual paradise. Be reunited with your loved ones, be any age, never in pain and never growing old. Sound too good to be true? It probably is. When supercop rookie Lamaloula Bains is assigned a new partner, Jason Strange, she gets sucked into a personal war with radical Christian fundamentalist, the dark Pastor Lane, that escalates to a power struggle for the hearts and minds of the whole planet. Often funny, full of action and filled with great ideas and wry observations. Douglas Adams meets William Gibson.

This is a book built on an interesting premise: what if an afterlife could be created by a pill? Makes for an interesting plot. You've fleshed out your characters well. It's a good read. Burgio (Grain of Salt).

This sounds like a truly intriguing idea. I look forward to reading on. In exchange would you care to peruse my own epic book of words? Cheers

What an interesting idea for a story and what an interesing question... would I take that pill? I think I would but I am going to have to read your book as I am sure it is not a simple as that. I will add it to my watch list - good luck with it! Clare
