Introduction

A murdered teen is resurrected to walk the earth for centuries in this sweeping historical epic in the spirit of The Astonishing Life of Octavian Nothing and The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, from the author of Rotters and Scowler.

May 7, 1896.

Dusk. A swaggering seventeen-year-old gangster named Zebulon Finch is gunned down by the shores of Lake Michigan. But after mere minutes in the void, he is mysteriously resurrected.

His second life will be nothing like his first.

Zebulon’s new existence begins as a sideshow attraction in a traveling medicine show. From there he will be poked and prodded by a scientist obsessed with mastering the secrets of death. He will fight in the trenches of World War I. He will run from his nightmares—and from poverty—in Depression-era New York City. And he will become the companion of the most beautiful woman in Hollywood.

Love, hate, hope, and horror—Zebulon finds them. But will he ever find redemption?

Ambitious and heartbreaking, The Death and Life of Zebulon Finch, Volume 1: At the Edge of Empire is the epic saga of what it means to be human in a world so often lacking in humanity.

Discussion Questions

"Chicago, 1896: Shortly after debonair 17-year-old gangster Zebulon Finch is dispatched to the bottom of Lake Michigan with a bullet in his skull, he's resurrected… sort of. Seeking redemption for the murders he committed, Finch is forced to wander through time, from the battlefields of World War I to the moonshine distilleries a Prohibition-era Georgia. His voice–turn-of-the-century-murderer-turned-victim – is utterly riveting."--Entertainment Weekly's Best Books of 2015 (#8)
