Life in Parallel Universes: A Novel by John E Smethers - Paperback

by John E. Smethers (Author)

Following the publication of three autobiographical accounts of a truly inspirational personal journey of redemption and reform, John Smethers turns his attention to the concept of anthromorphicism in this entertaining first novel which also has the ring of authentic personal experience.

1960's California. Reefers, beers and Buicks, and strange goings-on that will change Ed and Bobby's lives forever. As tragedy surrenders to grief and lifelong friends are cruelly parted, a new and previously-unknown phenomenon whispers in the silence and offers promises of reunion.

Is this madness or a miracle? Insanity or something else? All Ed knows is that something, someone, a spirit or a ghost or some otherworldly entity is communicating with him, and it is claiming to be Bobby. But how could this possibly be? Bobby's funeral is still a fresh and painful memory. As Ed's own date with tragedy and fate approaches, he begins to first of all understand - and then embrace - a new and exciting reality. As encounter after bewildering encounter reinforces this new reality - the concept of anthromorphism - of special intuitive gifts that are triggered by tragic events lead to only one possible and almost incredible conclusion; that of an alternative existence, of life in a parallel universe!
