Husk

As a Tech, Isaac maintains the servers housing humanity's collective consciousness. Tomorrow he turns twenty-five-old enough to transfer into the digital paradise of Meru. Virtual immortality will be his in a world free from the death and disease that plague what's left of civilization.
But when tragedy strikes, Isaac discovers Meru may not be the paradise he thought. Powerful forces are conspiring to destroy it, and the ones he trusts most have turned against him.
Outcast. Abandoned. Exiled. Isaac must uncover the truth about Meru before it's too late. And before he suffers a fate he thought was confined to the history books:
Death.
Husk: Book 1 of the Meru Initiative is Nathaniel Eliason's post-apocalyptic, action-fueled sci-fi adventure: a gripping journey and vibrant world that forces you to question what makes you human.
