Review Summaries
"The trauma of watching Richard's child die in a bizarre car crash leads to his co-habitation of his alternate-history dopleganger, Richard, where all his worst fears about his marriage and career seem to be the in this world. The secrets of his return to his orignal universe lie in the psychology of the light wave-particle duality. But does he want to return to a universe where his child is dead? "
