Description
Thirty-eight years ago, Dr. Sarah Halifax earned worldwide fame by deciphering a radio transmission from an unknown intelligence reaching out from deep space. Now 87, Sarah receives news that, at long last, a new signal has been received, and her services are desperately needed once again.
But Sarah needs to stay alive long enough to decode the message. With the aid of corporate backers, she and her husband undertake an incredibly costly medical process called a Rollback, in which decades may be added to their lives - but only if it's successful.

Good Sci fi novel, definitely becoming a Robert J Sawyer fan
Liked the concept of rolling back a person's age, Characters were complex and intriguing. Enjoyed the storyline.

Thought-provoking Science Fiction
Robert J. Sawyer offers his take on two familiar themes: First Contact between SETI scientists with an Alien culture and the biogenetic restoration of youth (making an 87-year-old 27 again).
Both storylines are handled well, but interpretation of alien communication has been done better (Ted Chiang's 'Stories of your Life' is incredible, for example), and the author's chosen reinvigorated protagonist (CBC/Radio Canada Recording Engineer 'Don Halifax') just isn't a very interesting character. The book is philosophical, plotted thoughtfully, and written capably - it simply didn't captivate me.
Unhelpfully, Recorded Books Inc. cast George Wilson to narrate the book, too. Don't get me wrong.. Wilson is a true professional (reading with creditable diction, timbre, cadence, and tone) - but he proceeds glacially (set playback speed at 1.20X to yield a tolerable rate) and exhibits legitimately weak voice-acting. In addition, sound editors sometimes struggle to seamlessly splice re-recorded segments into the recording. The overall presentation is hence "acceptable".
Altogether, 'Rollback' merits 6 stars out of 10. As a 'Plus' option, it was a serviceable distraction for a couple of quiet afternoons for an avowed SciFi fan like myself.. but save your Credit for something else should they ask for one.

Annoying
Good story idea, but simplistic writing and incredibly annoying self-righteous characters. Good thing it was free.
