Lights Out by Kayelle Allen
He can save mankind. After he does one important thing. Die.
Join the Ghost Corps, they said. You'll live forever, they said. You'll save mankind, they said. They didn't say that to do it, first he had to die.
When Tornahdo signs on the dotted line, he puts his life into the steady hands of the mighty Ghost Corps. Three grisly deaths and three agonizing resurrections later, he's assigned duty on the space station Enderium Six.
He's facing his most dangerous mission yet, the very reason the corps exists.
Do they expect him to win? Fat chance. Tornahdo and his team are already dead and this mission is codenamed "Lights Out." No, there's more to this than he can see.
To discover the truth, he must face an unbeatable, unkillable enemy, and this time--somehow--find a way to keep himself alive...
Lights Out is in the Science Fiction/Space Opera anthology The Expanding Universe Vol 4, edited by Craig Martelle out Sept 17, 2018

So excited that this is doing so well. Fell in love with Tornahdo.
Thank you. This is a lot of fun. 🙂
Now I have to cross-stitch that quote for myself.
I know, right? It begged for a banner with a cross stitch font. 🙂
What an imagination you have! The Ghost Corps, Tohrnado, and he didn’t know he’d have to die to be a ghost? LOL..This book sounds like a reader’s treat.

Thank you 🙂 I knew it was an unforgiveable sin among the Ultras who follow Pietas (who are known as Sempervians in later books). But it nagged at me that there had to be a reason beyond being found out as immortals. Their blood would have healing properties — sure. But what else? Thinking about that led me to the conclusion that humans would have used it even if it meant taking every drop. After all, they can revive so why not? It was that cruelty that led Pietas to so vehemently oppose the practice. And of course, his friendship with Six, a human who’d been resurrected using that blood. The Bringer of Chaos series tells that story.
