With society no longer bound by the constraints of aging, a man struggles with society’s degrading moralities, and his responsibilities; when investigating a string of events that threaten this new world’s order.
Since the introduction of the life-extending drug AMBROSIA, society has let go of its moral and ethical restraints. The city of Samsara has grown immensely through its continued over indulgence, the vices that were once left behind closed doors are fully out in the open for all to experience, overwhelming the inhabitants. The health threat to their lives reduced to such a minuscule level, they live in excess each passing day, on a constant and repetitive high. The nightlife is in a constant state of ecstasy; intricate nightclubs line the streets, providing a playground of vices for all who enter. MICHAEL CANDER is a man of strict discipline, the world he lives among is of no interest to him. Cander instead finds meaning in his service as an investigator for the corporation who created the life-extending Ambrosia, ICHOR. As his past life slowly creeps into the present, Cander finds himself grappling with this new world and the obligation to his work in attempting to uncover the true meaning behind a string of peculiar events.

Captivating story line. Keeps the reader engaged throughout. Would recommend to anyone looking to enjoy a nice read
short and suspenseful, nicely done!
I read and finished Ambrosia during a 2 hour flight, enjoying every detailed morsel of the story. This book was easy to follow with descriptive characters, which could translate nicely into some type of a mini series.
Five Stars
Awesome book with great character depth and story. Good read for all audiences, highly suggest it!
I have seen some of what you described here in movies before. It would be easy to assume that society would degrade morally when given eternal life and also to assume that society would become dystopic morally.
So why is Michael Cander different?. I guess one would have to read to find out why he is straightlaced and not like all the other folks with eternal life. There is no excerpt so that I can have a look at your writing, but your reviews on Amazon are good.
