The Eerie Light Of The Eclipse

by Cristian Carstoiu, Constantin Pavel (Editor), Dylan Garity (Editor)

Overview

What if the man next to you perfectly hummed a song that aired today for the first time, as if he'd heard it countless times? Robert Feldman is a young man caught up in a merry-go-round of unusual events that begin with the solar eclipse of April 2024. Taken away from his wife and daughter and thrown into the ripples of time, he is forced to live alternative lives. Facing the ethical and emotional baggage generated by the incredible phenomenon, the protagonist is subjected to the "Groundhog Day" syndrome, but in a different way. He travels back in 2017 several times throughout the book, but it's never quite the same, as the threads of time are tangled by other time travelers. While Robert is given the choice of different fates in the alternate realities, he crosses the temporal threshold only when he matures enough to accept his destiny, no matter what. At the end of this fast-paced novel, filled with provocative ideas, well-defined characters, and offbeat dialogue hovers the question 'What do we sacrifice to find happiness?'
