Time is the universal Constant. It doesn't pause, doesn't stop, moments come and go, measured but never really captured, experienced once and gone forever. But through those fleeting moments come life, here and gone more swiftly than we ever realize. Each of us comes to the end of life, the moment of Death, in our own way but not always in our own time. What if we were given more time? What if we were given Seven Hours?Thomas Constant, Time personified, has made a deal with Death. Seven people get a chance to relive the last seven hours of life, live for seven more hours in the future, or simply refuse and die. The choice is theirs, but whatever the results at the end of seven hours they will be taken to their final moments of life. The Seven Hours omnibus is truly a unique and inventive approach to storytelling. Seven novellas, seven authors, seven explorations of what men and women would do if they knew their death was imminent. Read one or read all seven, but if you allow yourself just one I think you'll find yourself hooked.
