Book description
In this world, no one can hide for two hours. Benny Rice has been
hiding for twenty years.
For billions of people, the Rebirth Institute holds the key to
eternal life. But only a tiny minority - less than 1 percent - are
selected for rebirth.
Benny Rice isn't one of them. True, he's got all the necessary
traits: compassion, health, energy, potential for creativity. But
intelligence tests show he's a moron - automatically disqualifying him.
And then, in the midst of a crisis that threatens more than Benny's
life, his intelligence scores must be reexamined . . . And he's not
exactly who he says he is.
