About this ebook

All was as it should be. The ski conditions were textbook; the skies were deep blue, the wind was calm, it was twenty-four degrees and there were three inches of fresh powder sitting on top of a finely tuned base. There could not have been a more perfect day to begin altering the course of history. This is the epic story of Alexander Gabriel, a brilliant 43-year old investment broker, who, following a skiing accident, finds himself inexplicably hurled back thirty-five years in time and forced to begin his life over as an eight year old. Imagine the fantasy of returning to a younger age while retaining your hard-earned wisdom. Imagine the wonderful life you would lead, the mistakes you would easily avoid, the opportunities missed that you could now grab at will. However, these fantasies never include the terror and confusion of being cast back to ones youth; but there would be a great deal of confusion and a great deal of terror.

About the author

Dennis Flannery and his wonderful wife, Zelia, live on a small ranch just outside of Bend - in central Oregon. Together they have traveled the world and enjoyed its wonders and diverse beauty. But they have also witnessed the staggering inequities caused by corrupt and inept governments. They have observed the unbelievable poverty and appalling living conditions in which a large percentage of the worlds population are forced to live. The daily news around the world is a constant reminder of how our beautiful planet is on the verge of being destroyed by power-hungry despots who have risen to power and now threaten the world with life-ending weapons. These eye-opening experiences and knowledge of the seeming decay of civilization, prompted Dennis to write this novel.
