“The bodies were stacked neatly in rows…”When Jess Green is recruited by The Unit for her unusual abilities, she hopes she's finally found safe haven. Unfortunately life in Department Thirteen (Crime Solutions) is anything but. A sinister brotherhood are stealing human organs, and Jess and her uncooperative handler are put on the case. Their quest takes them into the lair of a rich philanthropist and his beautiful, brilliant daughter who together run The Eternity Fund, anti-aging as it's never been known before. Haunted by flashbacks and convinced that something within the organisation is dreadfully familiar, Jess finds herself recalling the shadows of her past, and wonders whether she will ever truly be free.“A futuristic noir thriller that will keep you gripped to the very last page…”“Brilliantly narrated story from Liz Monument - an exciting new talent.”“I loved this compelling vision of the future.”“Not my usual genre, but absolutely loved it. There are lots of unanswered questions at the end, leaves you perfectly in suspense and eager to read the next instalment.”

    I was initially drawn to this by the cover which fascinated me and it's true what they say 'You can never tell a book by its cover', yet something pulled me to it and I had no idea what to expect. I have to say I'm not normally into the scifi/futuristic genre, probably because I don't have such a highly honed imagination. As I read I wanted to know what was hidden behind the door – is that not a human need. For me this book keeps the intrigue of what lies beyond with an assumption of what the world, long since destroyed, was like in front of the door, asking ‘are things always what they seem?’
    I haven't been this enthralled since I first watched the film Blade Runner, Liz Monument is such an atmospherically accomplished writer. This is writing of a different class. I am often disappointed by attempts to write about the world after the apocalypse, but here we have exquisite detail that is plausible for this new world where Jess Green is an empath with a hidden past, assigned to the Unit to help with crime scenes – it’s clever futuristic scenes of crime investigation and techniques. What has intrigued me is the backward view of the Old World that subtly questions our ordinary everyday things/processes that we currently take for granted. It’s almost a parody of what we prize in retro/antiques now; in the new world glass becomes the prized commodity sewn onto expensively priced haute couture. Who would have thought that real animal meat and champagne rescued in glass bottles to be a sign of the wealthy?
    Fascinated as I was by the story I lost myself in the exceptional detail, the characterisation of humans, droids, shifters and other genetically modified beings both accidental and deliberate compelled me to read this slowly to saver every detail. Of course, in this world longevity is the ultimate prize, hence the title, as is maintaining youthful looks. The sinister part is how this can be achieved in the search for Eternity. This is just begging to be made into a film!
    Jess tries to piece her life together and we end up with a lot of unanswered questions. I don’t give endings away but I love this one with the promise of more to come – I hope so! Pat McDonald British Crime author.

    The pace is fast, and the story is gripping and dark. The Eternity Fund is a thriller set in a futuristic world which is both unpleasant and surprising. The author only hints at 'mistakes' that happened in the old world, before the disaster, which left some humans with genes from other species of animal. This certainly doesn't dominate the plot, but it paints a disturbing backdrop against which the protagonist Jess and her handler Mo must catch a band of particularly nasty criminals.

    Jess's past is colorful, and adds to the drama when she discovers a seek-and-find has been placed on her head. Using her empathic abilities, she must work with Mo (at first reluctantly) to catch criminals for Unit management. This quest leads to a crescendo which takes us into the heart of the Cinderlands, near the site of the original disaster.

    What I liked about this story was the fact that the world is richly thought out. I have the feeling that the author could draw many more stories from it - the shifters, spooky North Side, and the mysterious Unit which has 99 floors, not to mention Jess's past in the convent where her brother vanished.

    i'd recommend this story to anybody who likes Urban Fantasy, dark futuristic thrillers, Dystopian fiction, or just a change from regular fantasy - but don't expect a Twilight-style romance. There is certainly tension between Jess and her gorgeous handler Mo, but it doesn't pan out into lust.

    The best book I have listen to in years. I hope they make a movie of this book. I just couldn't turn it off and was so sad when I got to the end. I didn't want to end. What awsume writing, the Arthur kept you wanting to hear more. I can't wait for her next book.

    I didn't really enjoy this book just because some of the writing threw me off. For example - "I don't know why I know these things, I just do" was really the expression that just made me not really want to continue listening. Just seemed kind of trite and made me think of Twilight. I didn't really love the narration that much either. I thought I would like it based on the 2 glowing reviews but it just seemed a little silly to me. Keep in mind I did not listen to the whole thing, only a few minutes and then I returned it.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Futuristic thriller
    Reviewed in Australia on February 21, 2018
    A glimpse into the future, think 1984 on steroids. While not my usual genre I found the characters and storyline engaging.
    The story is centred around Jess, who is seeking answers about her secretive and troubled past, while working for the Unit to solve a series of gruesome crimes that are somehow connected to her. The Unit assigns ex Gaurdian, Mo, as her protector but can he be trusted?
    The gadgets and technology in the novel are clever and believable as you are drawn into a futuristic world of artificial intelligence, flying cars, holographic images and semi-android humans intertwined with a fast-paced storyline.

    Absolutely loved this book. Would not normally read futuristic novels (even though I would watch futuristic movies). This book has converted me into rethinking my reading lists and I feel this would make a fanantastic movie. I was so gripped and I couldn't wait to read the next chapter. I haven't been so excited about a book for so long. What a brilliant talented lady.

    A thriller with a difference. Well written and with believable characters, despite it being set in an alternative reality. Kept me gripped. Recommended.
