Vin Jackson’s compelling and gritty novel ‘Reborn’ begins when two accident victims die. Hospital staff manage to bring them back, but the patients soon realise that something is amiss. Part of them is still trapped on ‘the other side' in a heartless, brutal land which defies belief. As their reborn alter-egos, Mireille and LaRoche, struggle to understand how they can be so different from the people they once were, they must also battle for survival in a world ruled by violence and depravity. This is Lonfay, the terrifying future everyone who dies will have to face.
Vallande was sent to destroy Lonfay from within. His gradually waning hope is revived when Mireille and LaRoche are reborn. In his elevated position as one of the few who keep order in Lonfay, he is well placed to guide them. Although they are not true reborns — part of them is still alive on the other side — he decides not to have them terminated. Should this breach of protocol be discovered, he will pay the ultimate penalty, but Vallande is convinced their unpredictability is what he has been waiting for. Perhaps they can succeed where he has so far failed. For the moment, he can only monitor their progress as they make their way to the fabled city of Vasteplage, which is where he believes the answer to his problem lies. The journey, however, will be perilous and the two transients will need more than just luck to survive
The book follows Mireille and LaRoche as they make the dangerous trek through the Deadlands and the Domains to their final destination, Vasteplage. Along the way they will discover the price of treachery and the true value of friendship and loyalty. Forced to kill just to stay alive, they will learn how easy it is to take a life, and how hard it is to break what will fast become an addiction. More than anything, they will come to terms with who they are and what they must sacrifice to free Lonfay and its people from eternal misery.
‘Reborn’ is published exclusively in eBook format by eBookIt.com and is now available from popular online retailers, including Amazon.com, and Barnesandnoble.com.
