I enjoyed reading this book. The writing is good and the characters are interesting. Unfortunately the huge plot holes and problems make me want to introduce the author to the basic services provided by librarians. The basic premise includes a science project to "re-animate" flash frozen creatures. They hit a payload when they find a man on an arctic expedition who had fallen overboard 100 years ago and is now the perfect first human subject for their process. The process works so well, the man does not only come back to life but actually regain consciousness and is barely freaked out by being dropped into the world 100 years after his last memory. I can stomach all of this but what I can't figure out is how this group of dedicated brilliant scientists couldn't figure out who this guy is, months after he is walking around with them, they can't find out if he has any living relatives. They don't know anything about his former life and the world he lived it...Geez, we are talking about tracing a family tree back 100 years...this really isn't that big of a challenge. Even though I enjoyed the writing, I just kept feeling shocked by the "big questions" in the book that would be SO easy to answer with an Internet connection, or a telephone and a number for a public library.
