...
located thirty miles west of Kilimanjaro in
Tanzania, is the world's most remarkable natural zoo, a collapsed
volcano 10 miles across and 3,000 feet
deep. It boasts an incredible wildlife collection, including
6 lion prides, wildebeest, and thousands of flamingos nesting in the central lake,
making a giant pink eye when seen from the air. National Geographic wildlife specials
are often filmed here, where humans are required to exit the caldera between dusk and dawn.

Description
African Savannah, 4000 B.C.
A deadly virus sweeps across the continent, destroying all life, and only
one man, a young tribesman named K’tanu, is immune to the disease. Yet without
counting the cost, he risks his life to save his loved ones.
New York City, 2029.
After sleeping for six thousand years, the virus awakens and begins its
destructive march again. Known as Cobalt,
it is a slate wiper capable of
killing all human life.
Then archeologists in Africa make a startling discovery: a mummy
whose perfectly preserved heart tissue is immune to the virus. In a final and
desperate attempt to stop Cobalt, renegade CDC scientists clone the man whose
mummy they have found. Meanwhile, in Paradise, where he has been living peacefully, K’tanu is suddenly
torn from the loving embrace of his wife and family and hurled back into
mortality.
But it is not the world he left. Thrust into a mystifying modern age of advanced
technology and pandemic terror, at first K’tanu is just another medical marvel,
and the scientists who bring him back have no idea that in addition to cloning
his body, they have interfered with the journey of his soul. But the veil is thin and soon K’tanu
begins to remember who he is and what he has lost. Believing he is being
punished by the gods, he struggles to redeem himself so he can return to his
family in Paradise. He is joined on his remarkable adventure by the brilliant
archeologist who discovered the mummy and a beautiful Cobalt researcher who is
trying to unlock the virus’s deadly secrets.

Reviews
"Cloning is a
hotly-debated subject, but what are the spiritual
consequences? Lightland tells the story of African
tribesman K'tanu. A remarkable physical specimen with an
immunity to a terrifying plague, he finds himself brought back
to life by modern science, only to be separated from his
family in the afterlife. On a quest to return to his homeland
to ritually reunite with his centuries-dead family, Lightland
entertains as well as makes readers ponder the morality of
cloning." — The Midwest Book Review
"A masterful mix of
heart-pounding adventure and heartfelt romance."
— David
Farland, The Runelords
