The Eerie Light Of The Eclipse

by Cristian Carstoiu, Constantin Pavel (Editor)

Overview

Robert Feldman is a young man caught up in a merry-go-round of unusual events that begin with the solar eclipse of April 8th, 2024. During the phase of totality, something happens, and when the daylight returns, Robert discovers he travelled back in time to August 21st, 2017. He is now surrounded by familiar faces, like his high school friends with whom he had witnessed the first eclipse. 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 at the moment of 2017 solar eclipse several times throughout the book, because things are 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.
