Description
People are trapped in history, and history is trapped in them. Resurrectionists are a select group of people who can not only remember their past lives, but also become them. Framed architect-turned-thief Jericho Way and his crew of modern-day tomb robbers aren't born knowing they've been trying to pull off the same heist for three millennia. First, they have to wake up. But with enlightenment comes grave danger--the eternally antagonistic Sojourn Corporation is now hot on their heels! To fight their future, they'll have to steal the past. Resurrectionists: Near-Death Experienced collects New York Times best-selling author Fred Van Lente's original, gripping heist thriller with a twist!
