The Lazarus Effect by Frank Herbert

On the alien world of Pandora, survivors must deal with the fallout from a scientific process that blurs the line between life and death, triggering political, religious, and ecological upheaval. Competing human factions, a sentient ship, and the planet’s interlinked biosphere each respond to the disturbance, forcing characters to confront ethical questions about mortality, power, and responsibility. The story combines speculative technology and planetary ecology with philosophical inquiry into the costs of trying to control life.
