Jack Lear is a Pittsburgh firefighter who is finishing a call on the night before Halloween. Then the darkness explodes with a thunderous roar, and his world changes. Hearing a cry of innocence from inside, Jack races into the burning building. There, he is confronted by a dark suit. This mysterious man forces Jack to make a choice that will forever change his path.In his journey through a long-forgotten past, Jack will rediscover love and wonder. He will hear the song of a man sent to find him. Through many horrors, Jack will play his role in a game started many centuries before, in a time not yet, and always will be, his own.Across the vastness of space and time, undergoing the paradox of duality, Jack faces and fights, crumbles and cowers, searches and steals the knowledge that will someday, in some distant past, either save or condemn, not just himself, but all those he loves, and the world along with it. The journey must begin.
Absolutely not. The first chapter is the only good chapter in this book. I normally wouldn't have picked up this book, but it was sent to me, so after reading the blurb, I decided to give it a try. Even though the blurb hints at the past, I was unaware that this was a historical fiction. My biggest issue was that the time period was the Civil War era. Regardless if this is a historical fiction or not, the use of the hard N-word, racial slurs, and disrespect was not what I signed up for. Why would you have a paranormal aspect to start the book and then throw that out the window and jump back in time without context? The blend between chapters was very rough and did not flow well at all. Reading this was a struggle!
I found this book to drag. The plot (if there was one) was to confusing to follow. Descriptive to a fault (rain is wet, we know that). Was not my cup of tea.
