„Si spokojný so svojím životom?“ To sú posledné slová, ktoré Jason Dessen počuje predtým, ako ho omráči únosca… Predtým ako sa prebudí pripútaný k nosidlám, obklopený ľuďmi odetými do protichemických skafandrov… Predtým ako sa nejaký muž, ktorého v živote nestretol, usmeje a povie: „Fakt sa teším, že ťa znovu vidím, kamarát.“ Vo svete, v ktorom sa Jason zobudil, sa jeho život odvíja úplne inak ako v tom, v ktorom žil dovtedy. Jeho manželka nie je jeho manželkou. A ich syn sa nikdy nenarodil. A on nie je len taký hocijaký univerzitný profesor, ale oslavovaný génius, ktorý vytvoril prevratnú vec – niečo, čo hraničí s nemožným. Ktorý svet je skutočný? A ak svet, ktorý si Jason uchováva v spomienkach, naozaj existuje, ako sa potom dostane späť k svojej milovanej rodine? Odpovede na tieto otázky dostane Jason až počas šokujúcej cesty, pričom bude musieť čeliť svojej najtemnejšej stránke a bojovať so zdanlivo nepremožiteľným, desivým protivníkom. Blake Crouch, autor úspešnej trilógie Wayward Pines (Mestečko Pines), tentoraz skúma hranice žánru sci-fi prostredníctvom kvantovej mechaniky a teórie o alternatívnych svetoch. Tempo románu – ako je u tohto autora zvykom – plynie závratne. Je to strhujúci, a pritom hlboko ľudský príbeh o najdôležitejších rozhodnutiach v našich životoch a o tom, čo sme schopní urobiť, aby sme naplnili svoje sny.
