Sandstorm Miguel has claimed the lives of millions of people. In an effort to restore the workforce and the economy to former glory, corpses are brought back to life—‘reactivated’—and coded to work until they expire a second time. Alex Horizón, a 30-year-old farmer in a desert town, is surrounded by these Reactivations, and has given up trying to find a living partner among the walking dead. With no one for company besides his drug-addled, often-cruel mother, Alex has resigned himself to a life of dull routine... Until he meets Luneh Yuan, a beautiful foreigner, and begins a harrowing journey of self-discovery and disaster that will either bring them closer, or drive them apart. In a landslide of events, Alex will face more choices than he’s ever had in his life, and discover just what it means to be fully alive.
