He’s a Vanisher, a genetic anomaly hunted by those who crave the secret to his regeneration.From the rain-slicked streets of Cleveland to the sun-drenched beaches of St. Thomas, from the shadowy corners of New York’s Murdock’s Café to the halls of Emory University, Ari leaves behind fragments of lives he can barely recall. He’s pursued by ruthless agents working for the powerful Schillersdorf family and the brilliant Dr. Bonn, who believe his unique DNA holds the key to cheating death itself.Just when existence feels like an endless loop of trauma, he meets Lilyanne Beloshinski. She’s intelligent, captivating, and unknowingly linked to the very people hunting him. Their connection is electric, a potential haven, but loving her means dragging her into his deadly reality.Caught in a web of genetic destiny, corporate espionage, and fragmented identities, Ari must fight not only for survival but for the very memories that define him. Can love anchor a soul adrift across lifetimes, or will the next vanish tear them apart for good?Dive into Vanishing Bodies, a mind-bending journey through science, conspiracy, and the desperate search for self in a world where death is just a doorway.“A twisty, satisfyingly unpredictable SF action tale. Even die-hard SF readers won’t see some of the turns coming”—Kirkus Reviews“[An] engrossing ride … [that’s] a meaningful metaphor for all the people one person becomes throughout life: how everyone grows, reinvents, and regenerates, even without special DNA. Mikheyev presents a narrative as malleable as its protagonist: changing genres from chapter to chapter, but always clinging to its core heartfelt message”—IndieReaderFor fans of ‘Hyperion’ by Dan Simmons, Isaac Asimov, Blake Crouch, Robert Heinlein, and Michael Crichton.
