Book Description
================
In this intriguing fantasy adventure, Jeff Winston, a failing 43-year-old
radio journalist, dies and wakes up in his 18-year-old body in 1963
with his memories of the next 25 years intact. He views the future from
the perspective of naive 1963: "null-eyed punks in leather and chains
. . . death-beams in orbit around the polluted, choking earth . . .
his world sounded like the most nightmarish of science fiction." But
Grimwood has transcended genre with this carefully observed, literate
and original story. Jeff's knowledge soon becomes as much a curse as
a blessing. After recovering from the shock (is the future a dream,
or is it real life?), he plays out missed choices. In one life, for
example, he falls in love with Pamela, a housewife who died nine minutes
after Jeff; they try to warn the world of the disasters it faces, coming
in conflict with the government and history. A third replayer turns
out to be a serial killer, murdering the same people over and over.
Jeff and Pamela are still searching for some missing part of their lives
when they notice they are returning closer and closer to the time of
their deaths, and realize that the replays and their times together
may be coming to an end.
