Resurrection, Inc. found a profitable way to do it. All it took was a microprocessor brain, a synthetic heart and blood, and, presto, anyone with the price could buy a Servant with no mind of its own and trained to obey any command. But for every Servant created, a living worker was out of a job, and suddenly Resurrection, Inc.'s profits became everyone else's loss. Some took to rioting in the streets, their rampages ruthlessly ended by armored and heavily armed Enforcers, eager for the kill. Some joined the ever growing cult of Neo-Satanism, seeking heaven in the depths of hell.

Only one tried to change the world. His name was Danal, he was dead-but he remembered. And he was the last hope for the living.

"Anderson has done an admirable job of working out the changes in society . . . told with a straightforward style that belies the book's convoluted plot and sub-plots." --Weird Tales

"Cleverly twisting two different extrapolations (one in bioengineering, the other in sociology) into a solid science-fictional whole . . . Anderson has done a very credible job of playing all the consequences of his speculations against each other and of giving a fair hearing to all sides of the issues he raises." --Dragon

"This first effort is well plotted and lively in the telling, with an empathy for those lives at the bottom rungs of society." --Publisher's Weekly

"Not since Fritz Leiber has a writer so skillfully married science fiction to horror and made them both stronger for it. RESURRECTION, INC. is as scary as it is thought-provoking--buy it and read it." --The Horror Show

"Fine descriptive narration . . . not only adds a dimension to the quality of Resurrection, Inc. but makes one await Kevin Anderson's next work with great interest." --Fantasy Commentator

"Kevin Anderson's first novel is reminiscent of the type of story that thrived in SF twenty years ago, but which has largely been ignored recently. Hopefully this fine first effort will refocus attention on a very productive vein." --S. F. Chronicle

" RESURRECTION, INC. is the best science fiction novel I've read since Greg Bear's Blood Music." --2 A M Magazine

A comment from Kevin:

The idea for RESURRECTION, INC., my first novel, came out of a stack of spiral notebooks I used to keep, in which I would jot down story ideas to guarantee that I wouldn't forget them. Silly. I filled up about five of the things with two-sentence ideas for short stories or novels, most of which I'll never get around to writing . . . then I realized that I didn't have to worry about lack of ideas! One of those two-line ideas kept coming back to me, though: "Imagine a world where the dead are brought back to life to serve the living; imagine a murdered man resurrected to become a servant for his killer . . . and he begins to remember things." Once I started building the world, introducing other characters into the story, it grew and grew.

RESURRECTION, INC. is still one of my favorites among my own novels.
