Partner in Survival: A novel

By John R. Perry

Tim and his sister Claire could not be more different. She is wise from her talent in automatic writing. He holds a PhD in astrophysics. She lives secure in absolute knowledge. He is a relativist, never sure of anything. Yet they have both accepted the same tragedy in their family history, until she makes a startling discovery. At least - she thinks she does - and turns to her brother for help. Claire quickly retreats, seeking the guidance of her channeled spirits. But her brother must investigate, stumbling into a puzzling web of elusive clues, ancient lies and a possible murder. As facts emerge, so do unexpected parallels between the bizarre world of modern physics and the chaotic tangles of life. Re-examining his childhood, an outrageous first marriage and the facts assumed since birth, Tim finds secrets that may force him to chart a new life amidst a drastically altered landscape. Perry continually challenges our native concepts of truth in this irreverent mystery. The facts we know beyond question, the footings upon which we build our lives, may not be so. Is reality, as suggested by today's science, a more fluid substance than we once believed? And what then? Can Claire's shocking discovery be true?
