Definition #2 of 'Resurrection':
[singular] : the act of causing something that had ended or been forgotten or lost to exist again, to be used again, etc. |
"A gentler than typical entry in the post-apocalyptic canon, Douglas' novel opens with a classic cinematic set-up. It's one straight out of Spielberg's oeuvre, or else something by Stephen King."
