Merge

by Walter Mosley

Overview

New York Times–Bestselling Author: A minimum-wage worker-turned-multimillionaire turns his mind to cosmic mysteries upon meeting an alien being . . . 
 
Raleigh Redman loved Nicci Charbon until she left him heartbroken. Then he hit the lotto for twenty-four million dollars, quit his minimum wage job, and set his sights on one goal: reading the entire collection of lectures in the Popular Educator Library, the only thing his father left behind after he died. As Raleigh is trudging through the eighth volume, he notices something in his apartment that at first seems ordinary but quickly reveals itself to be from a world very different from our own. This entity shows Raleigh joy beyond the comforts of twenty-four million dollars—and merges our world with those that live beyond . . .
 
"Mosley proves himself a master of both outsider and speculative fiction, rising above mere genre to ask the big questions." ―Shelf Awareness
 
"A writer whose work transcends category and qualifies as serious literature." —Time
