Another Past : Book Three

In his first life, Paul Taylor was a physicist who changed the world and missed everything that mattered. In his second, he got Jeryl, two children, a space empire, and the kind of life he'd spent sixty-five years failing to build.

Then he lost her.

Another Past: Book Three opens with Paul as the world's richest man — orbital stations, a lunar resort, Mars on the near horizon — and closes with the question that has haunted him since before he was reborn: can you reach back into the past when time will not let you go?

Between those two points: a conflict with China that tests whether private power can act as a sovereign force in international affairs; children growing up with their father's ambition and their mother's absence; a new relationship with Chrissy — an astronaut and the right next chapter — that Paul keeps failing to fully embrace; and a grief that drives him deeper into multiverse physics than any human has gone before.

The empire continues. But this book is about what Paul built it for, and what he is willing to give up to answer the question that never leaves him alone.
