Review Summaries
"Johnny Smith is a popular high school teacher. After a terrible car accident he is left in a coma. He awakes 41/2 years later with the ability to see past and future things about people that he has physical contact with. His main fear through these visions are centered on a local politician and his illegal activities."
Jeremy Bys, Resident Stephen King Scholar
"On the basis of some knowledge of the Shoah, the main character, who can read minds and foresee the future, discovers that a candidate to the Senate will be the President of the US and start the total nuclear holocaust. How can he stop him or prevent that outcome? Beautiful conscience that evil has to be stopped in the men who carry it."
Jacques COULARDEAU, Resident Stephen King Scholar
