Jonathan Cole

Perfect answers the question: "What would it be like to die and then come back to life?"Justin Chronos wakes up to a strange face staring over him. He learns that this mysterious and beautiful stranger is Dr. Cristina Divian, a cryogenics doctor who has "revived" him from his dormant state. Dr. Divian explains that she has received orders "from high up", making her personally responsible for Justin while he acclimates to his new life. Since he is a stranger in this future time, her family acts as his host family. Justin befriends Dr. Divian's son and daughter (a slightly dysfunctional set of offspring), who introduce him to a world that is a drastic contrast to the place he left behind. There is new technology, a vastly different social structure, a generation of people who have absolutely no imperfections, and active use of drugs; all of which Justin is reluctant to adapt to.As he adjusts to his new life, Justin discovers the existence of a secret organization known as The Founders, responsible for designing this seemingly ideal world. He soon meets Queen Hera, a sensuous and powerful woman who is the leader over this future nation. She enlightens Justin by informing him of his family's involvement in creating The Movement: an initiative started by The Founders that fundamentally revolutionized society. Even more startling, Justin learns that it is his fate to lead humankind, following the Queen's death. He does not understand why, nor does he wish for such a position. Before he can accept the arrangement, he is convinced that he must answer the haunting questions that torment his mind. When he begins to delve more into the tainted history of The Movement, everything unravels.
