A throat-gripping monster adventure...What's really great about Golden is that he manages to straddle nicely between.., the world of page-turning surreal adventure and the world of page-turning mainstream adventure. Golden manages to snag the most appealing aspects of both worlds and combine them in his novels, to make the best parts of each seem new when juxtaposed within his work.Thus, his novels seem consistently exciting and surprising.

Will James's tenth high school reunion starts out innocently enough. Sure, he has the usual nerves, facing his peers without having achieved his dreams. But so what if he's a tabloid reporter instead of a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist？ So what if, ten years after being left at the altar, Will isn't even thinking about marriage？ Most people haven't done any better...

But things take a dark turn when Will discovers that one of his old friends was killed during their senior year--even though Will remembers hanging out with him both at graduation and after. Yet everyone else remembers the hit-and-run, the funeral...and now Will's memories are beginning to change.Soon other terrible memories surface, acts of violence from the past that are brutally altering the present--ruining lives, even ending them. Somehow reality is shifting, and it seems that Will alone is aware of it. But why？ And can he hope to change it？
