The Light at the End of the Tunnel: A supernatural thriller (English Edition) [Kindle-editie] beoordelingen het boek quotes

If the state kills a worst-of-the-worst criminal, does he really die? Worst-of-the-worst criminal Les Paul is on death row awaiting execution. The chaplain is trying to stop the execution, and not because of a love for mankind. Mrs. Leslie Markum in nine months will give birth to the reincarnation of evil. Ms. Nicole Waters is nursing at the hospital where the infant, Les Paul, will be abandoned. Cassandra is yet divided between her mother and father. Patrolman Sikorsky is just doing his job and hoping to advance to detective. Riley Stokes, ex-military, will train the chaplain and Nicole to become private investigators. When Cassandra is born her mother will live long enough to name her. On the same day her father will die in Afghanistan. Cassandra starts her life alone. In foster care she will fall through crack after crack, and nobody wants to adopt this darling girl child. Lacking love, she soon discovers her crying brings her nothing. She stops crying. As she grows she does not come to love, anything, and does not come to trust…anyone. So, on October 18, this little girl will be born. Halfway across the country another baby will be born on the same day, just another child who will find no love. Les Paul will find no love because he is the reincarnation of a long string of evil killers, born with the memories of each prior life, not really intact memories but memories nonetheless, and they will serve him well in his next new life. Six months after his execution Les Paul is swimming in a warm pool of amniotic fluid. Through instinct his hands realize he wants more room. He uses his twin brother’s own umbilical cord to strangle him, then pushes and kicks that useless presence toward that light at the end of the tunnel. The chaplain and Nicole join forces and train at a desert survival school. Their goal is to track down the newly-born Les Paul—now rampaging through foster home after foster home—and prove that this child, now nine-years-old, is truly the reincarnation of Les Paul, worst-of-the-worst criminal. **** Deja vu, we've likely all experienced that feeling of having "been here before." For us mortals that "feeling" likely lasts just seconds. Now picture worst-of-the-worst criminal, Les Paul, undergoing deja vu regularly, only he's seeing himself being executed again and again, by electric chair, drugs, firing squad, over and over, memories that he denies are his--wouldn't you? Since you've never been executed--that you know of--wouldn't "you" deny such memories are yours? In the case of Les Paul, whether he believes it or not, his memories of continuing executions by the state are truly his. In the opening scene, while waiting for his execution, he has a deja vu memory of his very first life, his only happy time, his only time with a loving wife and a darling little daughter. But, as always, he shakes his head and denies the memory is his. **** In case you're wondering, yes, I've experienced deja vu, a recurring memory of a certain street as I traveled through different cities in my sales job. The memory was always of the "other side" of the street, I always started across, jaywalking, but never got there. Finally, after years, I found that exact street in my own hometown city. I actually crossed that street...and nothing happened, except the deja vu stopped. Go figure. I still wonder if crossing that street affected me in some unknown way....
