Many people obsess over their past, but no one more than I. Perchance it's because, as a man out of time, I left behind so much of it unlived.If that makes little sense, consider that I'm a time traveler. Although the backdrop for my story is time travel and alternate realities, the underlying theme is a more human one-of love lost, another love found only to be lost, and of a decision, the result of a single regret brought about by the realization that my self-professed courage to never risk my heart to love was instead cowardice, to rectify a wrong in a life filled with myriad regrets. You may judge me, as it is man's nature to judge others, or discount my story as the ravings of a lunatic mind or simply the fiction of an overactive imagination-but before you do, I ask that you read on to the end, and then ask yourself if you would have acted any differently.-"J. Conrad Guest gives us an unforgettable adventure seen through the cracked lens of our broken present and an all-too-possible, what-if past. Full of intrigue, romance and scathing social commentary, it is both an ambitious novel and an exciting, page-turning imaginative quest for that which is beautiful and true." -Rachael Perry, author of How to Fly
