The Becoming
UPDATE - Book 2, A Shadow Between Worlds, is in the works, with 6 books total. We're in for a wild ride, folks.
Follow Bryce Cameron as he becomes something that will merge all of history's timelines and belief structures into an astonishing revelation.
Bryce is three years into the melancholic aftermath of his wife’s tragic death when the dreams begin. They’re becoming more visceral, strapping him into a rollercoaster of sheet-soaked nights when he’s saving presidents or plotting the death of Julius Caesar. They whisk him through watershed moments in mankind’s history, and they’re eerily starting to feel more like memories, as if they really happened.
He stumbles onto a terrifying scene of Little Rock’s finest detective reading someone’s mind, and it shatters his grasp of reality. As more supernatural events stack up, a stunningly beautiful girl named Elin keeps disappearing around the next corner, and soon it’s revealed that she is Bryce’s guide for what’s coming. Not only will she give him his first glimpse of love since losing his wife, but she’s also the cosmic glue that can keep his world from unraveling.
Those dreams were real. He was actually there. And he can do things that humans shouldn’t be able to do.
He’s not God. But he’s pretty damn close.

I recommend this book
I would have rated this 5 stars except the beginning left me with the feeling you get when a movie has had too much on the cutting room floor. Things jumped around and a few times I was lost and almost closed the book.
I am so glad I didn’t! I was later swept away in the story, visuals well described allowing me to be totally in its grip. I look forward to Book 2! The skill of the writer began to bloom just as the story did.

Leap of faith
I don't know how or when I downloaded this book, but I'm trying to read more this year and I saw it in my Kindle library, so I figured what the heck.
Best decision of 2023.
I finished it in a day and now I'm looking for the sequel.
A nice mix of history, action, supernatural, and intrigue. I would have liked a little more denouement, but it definitely left me wanting to read more.

Loved it!
Cannot wait for the next book to see where this story goes. Well written, the story line is right up my alley. It moved well and made sense as I read. Good stuff.

I haven't finished yet, but I'm certainly wondering who edited this book. Not going to address the story itself now, only these annoying mistakes that no writer should be making (and these are just the ones I remember), and a good editor would certainly catch.
hurdling instead of hurtling
cooky instead of kooky
peak instead of peek
vice-grip instead of vise-grip
a French chateaux instead of a French chateau
a look of reprisal instead of a look of reproach
