Publisher's Summary
Joshua Mason is an everyday man cursed with immortality.
Joshua Mason has been alive for thousands of years. He doesn't know how or why it happened, only that he can die like any man, but will always return.
When you live forever, everything you love will die, so he decided long ago to not become attached. That all changed when he met Doreen. With her, he found something more than the woman he loves, after thousands of years of wandering, he found his place in the world. Now she's dying of old age. Distraught, Joshua promises to look after Charlie, Doreen's grandson, who is thirty-six, but forever a child due to a terrible brain injury.
Keeping Charlie safe means making money to keep Charlie's world—a crumbling motel in the middle of a barren desert—afloat. Mason makes this money by selling his life on the dark web to wealthy people who enjoy the ritual of murdering him.
And now, when Mason only wants to mourn the loss of his wife, he discovers he sold his life to some very dangerous people and that Charlie is not as innocent as he seems.

Unexpectedly brilliant
Those of us who are fans of the acerbic wit Mr Nolte entertains us with in his "other" career might have been expecting more of the same. What we get instead is a superbly crafted story, at times subtle, at times powerful, but more than anything, a vision of hope against a backdrop of society crumbling morally and spiritually. The only times when the book feels familiar in light of John Nolte's columns are when the lead character's gratefulness shines through, for being alive at this time in history in one of the greatest countries on Earth even in spite of the many forces working to destroy all the good in the world. I don't want to give to much away in terms of the plot but suffice it to say the story never goes quite where you expect it to go, but it is sure worth going along for the ride.
