The Immortality Virus was the Winner in the category of Speculative Fiction SF in the 2011 Global eBook Awards and Winner in the Science Fiction category in the 2012 EPIC eBook Awards.

In the mid-21st century, the human race stopped aging. Those who know why aren't talking, and the few who are brave enough to ask questions tend to disappear. To an elite few, The Change means long life and health, but to the increasing masses, it means starvation, desperation, and violence.

Four centuries after The Change, Grace Harper, a blacklisted P.I., sets off on a mission to find the man responsible for it all and solicit his help to undo The Change - if he's still alive. To complicate matters, Grace's employer is suspected of murdering his father, and when the police learn of their connection, they give her a choice - help them find the evidence they need to convict Matthew Stanton, or die. But if they discover Grace's true mission, they won't hesitate to kill her in order to protect their shot at immortality.

"What is the greatest fear of the human race? Death. Its greatest dream? Immortality. But what if humanity's fondest wish came true? Would it be heaven on earth, or... something less pleasant? In The Immortality Virus, Christine Amsden explores that very concept, in a riveting kind of futuristic, hard-boiled Maltese-Falcon-noir sort of way. And we find out - immortality isn't all it's cracked up to be..."

### From the Author

Everyone wants to live forever ... right? But what if it really happened? What if everyone suddenly stopped aging? 

In this sci-fi thriller, I openly question humanity's search for the fountain of youth.

"Only when life is short can we imagine that love lasts forever."
