Genre: Science Fiction; Near-Death Experience
Rating: 2 out of 5 Stars
Back Cover: Dr. Joanna Lander is a
psychologist specializing in near-death experiences. She is about to get help
from a new doctor with the power to give her the chance to get as close to
death as anyone can. A brilliant young neurologist, Dr. Richard Wright has come
up with a way to manufacture the near-death experience using a psychoactive
drug. Joanna’s first NDE is as fascinating as she imagined – so astounding that
she knows she must go back, if only to find out why that place is so hauntingly
familiar. But each time Joanna goes under, her sense of dread begins to grow,
because part of her already knows why the experience is so familiar, and why
she has every reason to be afraid. Yet just when Joanna thinks she understands,
she’s in for the biggest surprise of all – a shattering scenario that will keep
you feverishly reading until the final climactic page.
This was one of those of those
books that sounded amazing. And it does grab you at the beginning pulling you
in. But then it just kinda fizzles. The near-death experiences are very vivid
and quite well done. As it went on Joanna’s relationship between herself and
Dr. Richard was kind of sweet. I just thought that this left something out. It
was just missing something for me. Not one that I will read again.
