Terminus
What would become of the world if the dead never left us, if we could reach across the divide and communicate with those we’ve lost?
Terminus is a science fiction novel set in a future in which technology has enabled the living to communicate with the dead. The world has rallied around this window between realms. The dead hold unprecedented influence, while the living sacrifice entire fortunes vying for their turn to peek across to the other side. They get their chance at the Terminus, a looming tower in which those who have been left behind can summon the soul of their choosing.
Among those tied to the Terminus are Riley, a jaded financial adviser working in the thriving “afterlife planning” industry; Ben, a Terminus engineer with a family secret; and Sully, an aging rock star faced with the prospect of playing a reunion concert with his deceased band mates. The tower brings the three of them together, building strange friendships and hesitant romance, bonded by the ennui of living in a world with one foot in the grave. It’s a story of lies and guilt and lost loves, of finding moments of humor and beauty in a world obsessed with death.
