Dane and Mandy Collins are a very-much-in-love couple who have successfully made their living as magicians. Just as they retire, Mandy is killed in a tragic automobile accident. As Dane struggles to adjust to his loss, he meets a young woman who reminds him of his wife at age 20. She, too, is a magician with remarkable illusions. As the story progresses, we get to know Eloise and to understand what has happened to her. Gradually we come to understand that she is Dane’s wife, but that something astounding has happened to her. Dane continues to seek for the answers to this puzzle, but they don’t come easily.
Peretti writes of an interesting concept regarding time. Much of the scientific explanation, even in layman’s terms escaped me, but it didn’t cause the story to falter. I found that the story was a bit too long for my liking—I think he could have shortened it up a bit and not lost the punch. At times, I was tempted to quit the book, but I did want to know how he resolved it. His explanation did make some of the pieces of the book fit together. If you enjoy Peretti’s style and a science fiction read, you would probably like this book. I received a free copy from the publisher and this is my honest review.
