Just / In Time

by Billy Dee Williams, Rob MacGregor

Camila Hidalgo, the White House spokesperson, wants her ex-husband, Trent Calloway, to investigate Justin Logos, a controversial New Age cult leader. But Calloway, a former psychic spy who is trying to live a quiet life in the Southwest, thinks there's no reason for the government to intrude in Logos's life. So he and his colleague 'Doc' refuse to use their special talent--remote viewing, the ability to psychically see events occurring elsewhere.

But when a lethal virus is released in Washington, D.C., Calloway pinpoints its source to followers of Logos, a man proclaimed by some as the reincarnation of Jesus Christ and called the Anti-Christ by others. Now Calloway, exposed to the virus and facing his own death, must extend his abilities into a new realm.

He attempts to return to the near past to create an alternate reality, one where the virus has not been released. In doing so, he hopes to bring back Camila, who he still loves. If he succeeds, he can save lives, including his own, and prevent the chaos that follows. But he soon realizes that he might be a tool in a cosmic plan with far worse consequences than the ones he hoped to elude.

I finished this book some time ago and, only now, am I writing a review. I decided to give this book published in 2000 only 2 stars. Sorry, Billy Dee Williams. Lando may be one of my favorite characters from Star Wars, but this book didn't work for me ( of course, we don't know how much of the book is Williams' and how much is co-author Rob MacGregor's). I thought the idea of a psychic spy who uses remote viewing would be a good one--and it is--but this book is too formulaic and could not hold my interest. To be fair to Mr. Williams, perhaps I should have read the first book about Calloway before reading this book, the sequel.

I read this book because it was the only book left in the library that had anything to do with remote viewing. There are some inaccuracies in the book regarding remote viewing, most notably that an electromagnetic field can block it. This has been proven false by experiments done precisely to measure this.
The story reads like a formula story, I didn't like any of the characters, and the basic good vs. evil struggle portrayed in the book was very basic and not well nuanced.
I don't recommend this book, and I will avoid any future work by these authors.

When I saw Joseph McMoneagle's comment for the book (on the back cover) I knew I had to read it, here's what he said,

"With details and descriptions of remote viewing that are surprisingly similar to real events, Billy Dee Williams and REob MacGregor present a chilling vision that is closer to truth than one might think."

Now if that isn't intriguing I don't know what is. If you like remote viewing this book won't disappoint you.
