Resurrection

by Duane L. Martin

Overview

When Logan's body was removed from its grave, no one had any idea just who could have committed such a heinous act. Never in a million years would they have dreamed that Derek's brother had been taken for a very specific reason, nor could they have possibly guessed what that reason might be.

The serum had granted them immortality, as well as all of their vast mental and physical abilities, but what if it could be used for more than that? What if it could be used to regenerate the dead, and then bring them back to life with their memories fully intact? Freddie believed that such an achievement might just be possible, and after discussing it with Charles and Richard, they worked together to develop a process to make that theory a reality. However, the process would need a test subject, and that's where Logan came in.

Freddie's theory turned out to be correct, and soon enough Logan was back on his feet, and had even been age progressed, so that he and his brother would be about the same age. While the process worked perfectly however, there was another problem that would have to be dealt with. Unfortunately, while everyone was incredibly happy to have Logan back, the deep emotional trauma they'd all experienced in the aftermath of his suicide left a heaviness over their reunion that he just doesn't know how to fix.

Another unforeseen problem arose as well. While they continued to bring back the loved ones of some of the others, the realization that one of them can never be brought back because she was cremated after her death, leaves one member of the family in a spiraling fit of depression and self-blame that's almost more than he can stand.

Also, in an attempt to expand their abilities, they start experimenting with remote linking, and as a result of that process, they suddenly discover that they're all far more powerful than they'd ever imagined.

Resurrection is book 9 of the Unseen Things series.

About the Author

An avid reader since he first discovered the Hardy Boys books in the second grade, Duane L. Martin spent years being educated by some truly great authors. His first attempts at writing a novel came in the early nineties, when he was deeply involved in reading every Forgotten Realms novel he could get his hands on. This first attempt was created on a spiffy Apple ||c computer, using the Bank Street Writer word processing software. Unfortunately, writer's block struck a deadly blow, and the novel was never finished. Even more unfortunately, he made several more false starts on various novels over the years, but time and time again writer's block would get in the way, and these attempts all fell along the wayside.
In 2013, while sitting around bored and staring blankly at his screen, a germ of an idea began to form in his brain, and he decided to make one last attempt at writing a book. This book (Origins) took on a life of its own as he wrote it, and it ended up turning into a full on series, ending (he thought) with book 21 (Genesis) in 2015. Fast forward to 2021. Looking back on the series, he decided to re-edit all the books into second editions so that they would all measure up to his current writing ability, while at the same time adding a considerable amount of material to each of them in the process. This was both tedious and time consuming, as each book not only required two editing passes (42 editing passes in total for the existing series), but for the first time a print version was being created for each book, which was even more time consuming. Speaking of time consuming... When he reached the final editing pass of the last book in the series, which was actually written to be the final book of the series, he felt like he wasn't yet ready to let go of his characters. So, seven years after Genesis, he set to work on Aftermath, which was designed to be a slice of life sort of a book about what happened to the characters immediately following the events that concluded Genesis.
Oddly enough, the book poured out of him like it was meant to be. He slipped right back into the characters once again like a comfortable old shoe, and in no time at all, the story was finished. Will it be the final book in the series? Unlike Genesis, Aftermath wasn't specifically written to feel like the final book, so who knows? Perhaps there’s still more to tell when it comes to the Unseen Things universe. Only time will tell.
 
Aside from his writing, Duane is also a musician. He took his first bass guitar lesson in 1987 and has been playing bass ever since. He also plays some guitar, and a little keyboard and some percussion as well, with a particular focus on hand drums. As he's always been a great lover of music, he often has it playing quietly in the background while he writes.
Born and raised in Northern California, he would later move to Idaho, where he lives the quiet life of a relative hermit with his wife Sharon, and their two dogs.
