Ever since that fateful day, Ethan has sensed a deep disconnect between the man he should have been and the one he has become. His days play out a beat too slow, his mind replaying the scene of his failure again and again.
But when his brother's widow appears, asking for his help in uncovering what was really behind his brother's death, Ethan is stunned to hear that she and her late husband were involved in a much larger case than he knew--one that threatens the global power structure. As Ethan joins the search for answers, he will enter into his own past--and discover a means of redeeming his future.

MY THOUGHTS
My encounter with author Davis Bunn was reading his series that he wrote alongside Janette Oke and I absolutely loved those. I guess that's somewhat the style I was expecting but it definitely was not. That wasn't a bad thing, just kind of threw me for a bit. I guess I have been out of the loop when if comes to his writing as I didn't realize he wrote suspense/mystery books. I can't say this was my favorite and that it kept me engaged throughout because sadly it didn't. And it wasn't the writing because obviously Bunn can definitely write a wide variety of genres. It was all the science and technical terms that turned me off quite a bit. This book has more of a futuristic time travel/dual timeline aspect which I love dual time line but I think the time travel part threw me off on a loop.
The plot itself was good and the mystery aspect was well done. I felt disengaged from the characters but you do see them grow. The theme of the story I think was well understood. We aren't guaranteed the future so each day we should live it to its fullest. I was a bit disappointed with the ending as I felt like it left me hanging somewhat.
I will say I think this book would be great for a book club because I know you will definitely get a lot of great conversations going with this one.
My Rating: 3 Stars/ Liked it but it didn't quite make it for me.
