Since the birth of man, eternal life has been one of the species' greatest
dreams. For Dr. Ashtar Ahmad, it has been more than a dream; it's been a
lifelong obsession. And while he has not conquered death's rule over the body,
he has found a way to keep the soul alive - a complex suit that houses the inner
being of the deceased and allows them to go on living. When a group of unknown
assailants come of Ahmad's research, the doctor is caught in the crossfire, and
his only chance at survival is an untested prototype of his most prized
invention. But when the megalomaniacal tycoon responsible for the break-in
kidnaps Ashar's daughter to use as a bargaining chip in acquiring the
groundbreaking discovery, the good doctor must discover how to stop his enemy
and keep his soul intact. Can he make up in death for his misdeeds from life? A
mix of classic science fiction and superhero comic books, The Coffin points in
the direction of the bold new future of the genre-driven graphic novel.
