From the coauthor of the New York Times bestselling The Shape of
Water comes the second and final book in the "utterly riveting"
(Entertainment Weekly) epic tale about a murdered teen who is
resurrected to walk the earth for more than a century.
Zebulon Finch has faced more violence, lust, and heartbreak than any
other seventeen-year-old in history. But nothing can prepare him for
what is coming next.
Half a century has passed since Zebulon Finch was gunned down and then
inexplicably resurrected to experience a second life. Picking up his
tale where he left off, Zebulon heads to Nazi Germany on a top-secret
mission. From there he escapes to the shiny new world of the suburbs--a
tidy neighborhood hiding dark secrets. He will exchange the pains of
this world for what he believes will be peace among the stars. He will
march for social change all the way to Woodstock, go raving mad in the
desert, and finally exit from humanity the only way he knows how. We
first met Zebulon sealed in a tomb beneath the World Trade Center--might
he yet crawl from the rubble to discover a different America?
Enthralling and gut-wrenching, The Death and Life of Zebulon Finch,
Volume Two: Empire Decayed is the conclusion to the epic saga of one
young man's journey down the long road to redemption.
