Book
Longer / Michael Blumlein.
"In Longer, Michael Blumlein explores dauntingly epic topics--love, the expanse of the human lifespan, mortality--with a beautifully sharp story that glows with grace and good humor even as it forces us to confront deep, universal fears. Gunjita and Cav are in orbit doing research for Gleem Galactic. They are wealthy enough to participate in rejuvenation: the practice of rebooting their bodies from old age back to their twenties. Each person only gets two chances. After Gunjita has juved for the second and final time and Cav has not, questions of ethics, life, and death and test their relationship. Up among the stars, first contact is possible, but their marriage may not survive the challenge"--Page [4] of cover.
