About this audiobook
Lucien "Vance" Abebefort has always been the family's wild card. Where others clung to patience and tradition, he gambled on the untested and unorthodox - and more often than not, he won. But time is the one adversary even he cannot outwit. Now in his sixties, with his greatest exploits behind him, Vance is running out of chances to prove his story isn't over.
Enter the Lazarus Protocol: a whispered elixir of youth, coveted by the powerful, feared by ethicists, and dangerous to all who seek it. For Vance, it's not just a second chance at life - it's the ultimate adventure. Yet Rebirth comes at a cost. In the shadows lurks a rival known as the "merchant of death," a man who views immortality not as a gift but as a weapon to be bought, sold, and exploited.
Awakening in a younger body but burdened with old memories, Vance must navigate betrayal, intrigue, and perilous bargains. To survive, he'll need more than renewed vigor - he'll need the cunning of the wild card he's always been.
I'm Bird's Eye Kite Gliding, an aspiring author crafting short stories that soar through thriller, science fiction, and fantasy. Inspired by the epics of Dune and The Lord of the Rings, the imagination of the Lensmen series, the sharp edge of Deathworld, the wit of Bobiverse, and the humanity of Old Man's War, my tales blend grand adventure with intimate moral dilemmas. Beyond action and intrigue, I weave subtle social commentary, aiming to spark reflection and optimism while delivering wonder, danger, and discovery.View all by Bird's Eye Kite Gliding
