Sheridan walks away from a devastating plane crash. Angela drowned as a young girl under a hole in the ice. Nicolas Sheridan was different after the plane crash, "almost like he's been replaced." He built Echelon, began Project Lazarus, and began recruiting others like himself, those who knew intimately about NDE, Near Death Experience."Life is just a holographic simulation, an infinite loop." Bright light. Emerald glow. White room. Long tunnel. Very similar reported experience. Seeing old friends, relations, those gone before. Rejection. Expulsion. Short, abrupt trip back to reality.An abrupt personality change. Gruff to gentle. Criminal to law abiding citizen. Is this from fear of the unknown, the absolute, or suspected consequences of being cut off from a place indescribably serene and beautiful? "You don't know what it's like, coming back. To be unable to connect with your family, not to care about them anymore. I did not want to come back!"Obsessed billionaire. Who is the man in the grey suit? Mystery upon mystery piling up, leaving more doubt and uncertainty.Is it all a hideous game? Are we "just pieces on the board, objects of amusement, waiting to be knocked over?" Jonah reels from the after images. His NDE, wandering on a desolate landscape, being stalked by something. Are we doomed to become silhouettes only against the fading light?The restoration of Thanobry Chapel held numerous surprises. Echelon, what was the connection? Examinations intensified. More experimentation. The journey each must take alone. Rattlesnakes. Coyote. Shifting shapes. The Trickster and the Pit.Excellent. Enjoyed the read and the nudging questions.
