Jillian Cantor is the author of the novel Half Life. In this story, Cassandra Campbell narrates how a new student moves to a small town with her father. There they meet an old man who tells them that they will have to save the world together. Soon it is revealed that there are aliens on Earth and they are trying to take control of it by turning humans into their slaves.

Cassandra Campbell did an excellent job narrating this story of a girl who discovers she has cancer at the age of 16. She is then faced with many different sides of life's challenges, personal and professional as well as how to handle her condition. I found myself feeling intrigued by this book from the beginning and felt that it would be hard for me to put it down!

Jillian Cantor is a top-selling author of sci-fi, fantasy and horror novels. Half Life: A Novel is her first foray into the audiobook world, where Cassandra Campbell takes on the narration of this dark, dystopian novel about a post-apocalyptic future where humans are forced to live inside a single 5000 mile wide dome in North America. In the distant future, humans have been forced to retreat from the effects of global warming and nuclear war to reside in one 5000 mile wide area that is only able to support life. The original inhabitants of Earth were killed off by overpopulation, and those who survived have been locked away with the loss of their humanity.

A group of scientists are working on a project that will allow them to vastly improve human life, but the technology is so invasive and thus controversial that they have decided to run it by society. When this new project is released and fails at transforming humans into "super beings," the world begins to change as people become increasingly suspicious of what goes on behind closed doors.

Half Life has been available in print since 2008, but with its release as an audiobook by Cassandra Campbell, it is now more accessible to those who are visually impaired. The novel follows the main character, Elka Zlotnik, as she tries to figure out what happened to her sister and what she needs to do in order to avoid a similar fate.
