Genre: Science Fiction; Near-Death Experience
Rating: 2 out of 5 Stars
From the Back Cover of the Book: 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.
