NDE is one of those stories that takes a regular thriller, throws in some crazy ideas and plots, gives it a good shake and tada! you have a brilliant read that pulls you right in, jostles you about, and shoves you out at the end wanting more.When the eccentric CEO of a business empire survives a plane crash, one that was no accident, he awakens to the revelation of a Near Death Experience. Drawn to an old church, steeped in mystery and ancient power, he assembles a team of experts - all of whom have had their own NDEs - and sets out to find out what really happens when we almost die.The Trickster, though, wants a larger role in the affairs of mortals, and through the unhinged Deputy of Sheridan and other unfortunates in his path, a darker scheme is set into motion. Sheridan and his Collective, while seeking to understand how NDEs manifest, must unravel the mysteries of Thanobry's tomb and counter the growing menace.What starts as the scientific and philosophical pursuit of one of the biggest questions evolves into a terrifying race for survival against malevolent forces.A combination of good old-fashioned thriller tension, sci-fi gaming technology, Native American mysticism and the clever detail that two skilled writers bring to the page; NDE is a real blockbuster of a novel. There's probably room for a sequel too, hint hint...
