The Life

by Robert Hilburn Read by Charles Pittard

Not too long ago, there was no coming back from death. But now, with revolutionary medical advances, death has become just another serious complication.

“Casarett’s inquiry makes for entertaining, informative, and, at times, electrifying reading.”

—Booklist

From the New York Times bestselling author of the Mars trilogy and 2312 comes a powerful, thrilling, and heartbreaking story of one young man’s journey into adulthood—and an awe-inspiring vision of how we lived thirty thousand years ago.

“In his vibrant, often moving new novel, 2312, Robinson’s extrapolation is hard-wired to a truly affecting personal love story…Perhaps Robinson’s finest novel, 2312 is a treasured gift to fans of passionate storytelling.”—Los Angeles Times

Robert Hilburn here tells the unvarnished truth about Johnny Cash, a musical icon whose personal life was far more troubled and his artistry much more profound than even his most devoted fans realize.

“[Hilburn’s] words have an economical sense and frugality that put him across the street from other great commentators and critics of the rock era.”
