control of your existence, would you take that chance? But then, would you have a choice? Nathan J. Keller's The Relik is a dystopian novel about second chances, individual freedoms and the social evolution of humans. A young man Jim, who gets trapped in ice after a skiing accident, is "resurrected" by searchers from a futuristic advanced civilization thousands of years later. Jim and six others brought back to life like him are given the roles of living relics who would connect people to the values of the past. It's a strange, alienating word Jim wakes up to because it has different ideas on the value of life. I applaud Kendra M. Parker's review of The Relik as she pinpoints what makes it unique and interesting to readers of young adult novels, thus encouraging book lovers to give dystopia and futuristic fiction a chance. I'm already reading the book and looking forward to how Jim would face life as a poster boy for ancient humans' thoughts and values while grappling with his own existential issues in a new world. I give a toast to Mr. Keller for the first installment of what could be a successful book series. Also, thank you to Kendra M. Parker for giving the book the notice it deserves.
