What would you do if you wake up in the future and be asked to join a war? Roy, an Israeli soldier awakens after being cryo-frozen for 300 years. He finds himself in an underground shelter-city that protects him from the unbearable climate above. He's alone and has no idea why he was defrosted and what happened. Now, he'll have to find his place in the city - his haven and prison, while fighting off an invasion attempt by a vicious radical group. "Moran Chaim's dystopian novel, opens readers' minds to the complexities of a futuristic world where things appear to be almost too good to be true. This is a fast-paced, action-packed story that will certainly make the reader think."

Chaim’s Human Again is a purebred thrill-ride from start to finish. We follow Roy, a young Israeli soldier who was put into cryosleep after he was wounded in action Flashforward 300 years and Roy is brought back, woken to a world where the land is damaged, and temperatures are routinely above 100°. It is the doctors of New Knaan that now have Roy,’s cryo cannister. Believing they were resurrecting an older person, the doctors were surprised to discover they had found the 'young soldier’s’ cannister.
Roy causes problems from second one. He wakes in a strange place, with very odd people who refuse to give answers, and quite reasonably becomes frustrated and aggressive. After he calms enough to begin processing this unbelievable yarn about being woken 300 years in the future, curiosity and the determination to find his parents set him on a dangerous course.
In an attempt to rein Roy in, the President of New Knaan 'promotes’ him to Gun Technician Assistant,meaning he helps care for the laser guns protecting the city. His new home is a glum place, buried underground, with bugs as a main food staple. This city has fooled itself into a false sense of security. Half their population or more dwells in a virtual reality 50-100% of the time, and have done so for years. These people are far from ideal fighters and they've become a target of the Purists, a group determined to destroy all technology. When push comes to shove, Roy is asked to become the soldier once more.
I loved the quote at the beginning-
“Time imprisons us, but civilisation enslaves us.” ~TR Perry
That gave me pause to think. There's so much truth in that statement. It’s easy to see what shaped the Purists’ beliefs, even if one doesn't share them. It's also easy to see what drives so many citizens of New Knaan to enter the simulation permanently.
This book was fast-paced from start to finish. There are a few grammar errors, but things easy to overlook. Chaim’s writing lacks a certain strength that only comes from maturity in one's craft. Human Again is the first in a proposed series. I'm looking forward to the next book, and to seeing Chaim continue to grow as a writer.
