Fly Twice Backward: Fresh Starts in Times of Troubles

By David McCracken

You wake back in early adolescence, adult memories intact, including ones that could make you very wealthy now. Your birth family is here, alive again, but your later families are gone, perhaps forever. What has happened, what should you do about coming problems like violence, ignorance, pollution, and global warming? You realize one key connects most, the intolerant strains of the major religions disdaining science, equality, and social welfare. You see that there are some things you can change, some you can't, and one you don't dare to.

Fellow idealists help you spend your growing fortune well--such as:

An artistic Zoroastrian prince in the Iranian oil industry, A rising officer in the Soviet army working to find a way to destroy his corrupt government, A Bahai woman working for the environment and struggling against Islamic brutality, A Peruvian leader working for a liberal future, A Jewish woman struggling against Zionist intolerance, A pair of Indian officers confronting Hindu fundamentalism, andA snake-handling Christian minister, grappling with doubts, sexuality, and destiny.An ally who develops essential psychic powers.

The group faces familiar-looking corrupt politicians, religious leaders, and corporate czars, but there is an ancient force in the background, promoting greed, violence, hate, and fear.

This exciting, emotional, thoughtful, humorous, and even romantic science fiction novel weaves progressivism, music, movies, and literature into a struggle spanning the globe. Vivid characters propel the action back up through an alternative history toward an uncertain destination.
