TIME-CAST
Chronicles of Michael Jameson
A Novel by Ben Solomon
Michael Jameson is twenty-six, invisible behind a Chicago video store counter, and certain his real life is happening somewhere else. Then he discovers he's a Time-Cast - pulled through history again and again, never aging, never free. From the frontier West to a Shaolin temple, from ancient enslavement to a clockmaker's workshop in seventeenth-century France, he gains mentors, skills, and loves in every world he enters - but never ages a day, while everyone he loves grows old and dies without him. When the truth behind his gift finally surfaces, Michael must decide what a life is for, and what he owes the people forever was never meant to keep.
This is a story about the cost of forever, and the price paid by everyone it leaves behind.
