Josh Ryder, an Associated Press photographer, nearly loses
his life when a terrorist bomb explodes while he's snapping
shots of a museum. During his recovery, he begins to
experience hallucinations of someone else's life. Lucky for
him, he finds a group of individuals who believe in
reincarnation and offer him the help he needs to understand
his predicament.
When Josh's memories of an ancient past draws him to Rome
and a newly excavated secret tomb, he starts a chain of
events that were actually set in motion almost 1000 years
ago. The more Josh remembers, the more he feels another's
love and sacrifice in a time when the Vestal Virgins were
sacred and the realm of religion was shattering.
THE REINCARNATIONIST is a fascinating and unique novel with
twists and turns that kept me guessing about what would
happen next. The ending is shocking and unexpected, which
is the perfect recipe for a fabulous novel.
A bomb in Rome, a flash of bluish-white light, and
photojournalist Josh Ryder's world exploded. From that
instant nothing would ever be the same.
As
Josh recovers, his mind is increasingly invaded with
thoughts that have the emotion, the intensity, the
intimacy of memories. But they are not his memories.
They are ancient...and violent. A battery of medical and
psychological tests can't explain Josh's baffling symptoms.
And the memories have an urgency he can't ignore — pulling
him to save a woman named Sabina...and the treasures she is
protecting.
But who is Sabina?
Desperate
for answers, Josh turns to the world-renowned Phoenix
Foundation — a research facility that scientifically
documents cases of past life experiences. His findings
there lead him to an archaeological dig and to Professor
Gabriella Chase, who has discovered an ancient tomb — a tomb
with a powerful secret that threatens to merge the past
with the present. Here, the dead call out to the living,
and murders of the past become murders of the present.
