CryoShift is about Joseph who died in 2010 and was reanimated over a hundred years later. As Joseph figures out his new world, he encounters tragedy, risks, and opposing forces. I enjoyed turning the pages to see what Joseph would encounter and choose. 

Nicole Frens is the author and created this story to connect with her father who chose cryonics for himself when he passed. This is her debut and it’s so good. 😊 Frens writes fabulously, with much humor and creativity. She clearly did her research and imagination. She also considered many details, offering a picture of life and work for future generations. 

The story has elements that are familiar and very interesting elements in the future that I’d love to experience. Like the characters, I found myself wrestling with the questions of what is good technology and what should we leave alone. I also considered what relationships matter most.

Ultimately this book is about second chances and about connection. I don’t usually read sci-fi yet I really enjoyed this story. And yes, Frens is on to something… with the wild tech of the future. I personally wouldn’t choose cryonics but loved stepping into the future with Joseph to see what the future holds. Definitely recommend this book and will read anything else Frens writes.
