This is a reprise of a character Block created in the 60’s, fast
forwarded into the late 90’s. I haven’t read the rest of the series with
Evan Tanner so perhaps my critique is not valid but I found this whole
book just plain cheesy.

Ok, so maybe that is a little harsh. Evan Tanner is brought back to life
after a Swedish Nationalist splinter group puts him into a cryonic coma
because they want him out of the way and yet, being highly evolved
humans, don’t want to kill him. Yeah, right. After springing from his
hospital bed with no side effects except a tendency to be chilly, he goes
back to his old apartment, which is still there after 25 years, and finds
his name on the doorbell. And the child he had taken in has grown up into
a breathtakingly gorgeous woman who home schooled herself without anyone
noticing and kept his apartment for him. Yeah, right. Then we get to
watch as Tanner “catches” up on the happenings of the last 25 years via
Internet which only takes 6 months because he doesn’t have to sleep. His
sleep center has been destroyed by shrapnel in the Korean war. Yeah,
right. So somehow, he finds himself going to Burma on some lame scheme
for some guy he worked for all those years ago. Now th e book turns from
sci fi to thriller and we get to watch Tanner walk thru Burma with this
bombshell chick he picked up, both of them posing as Buddhist monks and
no one stops them. James Bond, eat your heart out.

The whole book is cheesy, lame and just plain silly in parts. I finished
it, though, which says something.
