I was puzzled at times, until pieces began to fall into place. When it spoke of the main character taking bullets like he was a car but not being hurt I wondered if it had somehow become a major typo in the book. But then I read further and it became apparent that this man was not like most. This of course, made me want to keep reading further to see why.
Set is 2081, Eternity Falls is written with a futuristic outlook. Humans have morphed beyond human and the fountain of living youth has been developed via a serum. What man once desperately sought after however, has become their curse. They now can't die . . . Until something starts happening and the people given The Miracle Cure do start dying. Enter Macey, hired by the founder of The Miracle Cure, to discover why people are dying when they were supposed to live forever.
Eternity Falls had a feel of The Matrix to me, on a literary level. As a person who was not into The Matrix, I'm surprised I enjoyed the book as much as I did. Perhaps because it was so "out there" that it employed the use of my imagination - - a reason I have always enjoyed books to begin with.
While this genre will not be my usual style, it was a nice deviation from what my genre usually is and I would recommend it if readers are looking for a different type of book to read.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
Kirk Outerbridge developed a passion for storytelling at an early age. Through years of reading Fantasy and Science Fiction novels, comics, table top gaming and watching endless hours Japanese anime, he developed a keen sense for what made stories enjoyable and more importantly—what didn’t.While pursuing an engineering degree in college, Kirk endeavored to tell his own stories, choosing writing as the easiest and cheapest medium to master—or so he thought. Several years and several hundred thousand words later, he produced a Sci-fi trilogy that shall never (God willing) see the light of day, but that did teach him much needed lessons about the craft of writing fiction.
After college Kirk returned to his homeland of Bermuda where he reunited with his childhood friend and future wife, Ria. But before marrying his lovely wife, Kirk entered an even greater marriage and devoted his life to Christ in 2002.
With a new found direction in life, writing fell by the wayside but the urge to tell futuristic stories never left. After much prayer and contemplation, Kirk purposed his writing for God’s Will, seeking to draw to Christ those who shared his passions for all things futuristic and Sci-fi.
Kirk currently lives with his wife Ria and 18 month old son Miles in beautiful Bermuda. He is a faithful member of the Church of Christ and is a professional engineer employed by the government.
