About this book

Book Summary

From bestselling author Brian Freeman comes an explosive new psychological thriller that pushes the limits of reality as we know it.

One rainy night, the unthinkable happens: Dylan Moran's car plunges off the road into a raging river, his beautiful wife drowning as he struggles to shore.

In the aftermath, through his grief, Dylan experiences sudden, strange visions: wherever he goes, he's haunted by glimpses of himself. Dylan initially chalks it up to trauma, but that changes when he runs into a psychiatrist who claims he's her patient. She says he has been undergoing a unique hypnotherapy treatment built on the idea that with every choice, he creates an infinite number of parallel universes.

Now those parallel universes are unlocked—and Dylan's doppelgänger has staked a claim to his world. Can Dylan use these alternate realities to get a second chance at the life that was stolen from him? Or will he lose himself…to himself?

Media Reviews

"Even fans used to the wild inventions of Freeman's thrillers, such as Robert Ludlum's The Bourne Evolution (2020), had better buckle their seat belts for this traversal of a troubled man's alternate identities...This cockeyed, suspenseful exploration of roads not taken is a dizzying delight." - Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

"[A] tense, fast-paced chase through alternate realities. Clever plotting matches the well-developed characters. Freeman is sure to win new fans with this page-turner." - Publishers Weekly

I enjoyed this book. Dylan Moran has a car accident and his wife dies. After this happens, he begins to have visions and discovers parallel universes. His life is different in each universe, some worse, some better. He is looking for one where his wife lives.
