Rick leaves for work one day and has a terrible premonition about his wife dying in a car accident - he rushes to the scene and finds her crushed in her car... then something really weird happens.
It turns out that Rick has the capability to jump between different universes (in a parallel worlds kind of scenario). I just wasn't very impressed with how the story developed. ”“Very easy to read, just a little convoluted.

“SciFi with twists of metaphysical thought as the story line jumps between universes following the many world theory of quantum physics. I liked it.”

life after an accident, what could have happened, what really happened... It actually reminds me of the Sliding Doors movie in a way. I read this one after Superstition, which is my favorite of his so far!”
“I didn't get into the story until after 40 or 50 pages but then I raced through it. I love this book because it addresses the issues of identity, time, space, and well, all that good stuff. A great beach read.”

“This is the 4th Ambrose novel I have read, and I have enjoyed his work immensely. This one has some similarities to Coincidence, which has some ideas about interdimensional travel. Ambrose has a talent for capturing the feel of an extended Twilight Zone episode in each of his writings. I specifically remember the Richard Long episode where he wakes up to find the world he knew changed.

In this novel, Rick Hamilton seems to have his life together; good job, family and friends. His wife is then killed in a tragic car accident. Unable to face the reality of her death, he is transported to a parallel universe where she is still alive but there are subtle differences in his life. Mainly, he never had children (in his own reality, he has a son and his wife is pregnant with another), has a totally different job, and he is a lot more distant from the people that he knows. He ends up sharing his existence with the Rick (called Richard) in that universe; inhabiting the same mind.
Along the way Rick and Richard form an unusual alliance and each discovers something important about themselves. I don't want to give too much more away, but I just want to say that I was able to read this book in one sitting.
