About the Book
"Duster Raines has demons. Some visit him in his dreams, reminding him of the choices he made in combat to survive. Others visit him while he's awake, demanding he pay penance for those sins. But lately, he's started seeing an alternate version of reality where he leads a life of importance, wealth, and power. Visions so vivid they seem more real than the life he lives as a PI, scrounging the gutters of Los Angeles for an easy buck. It's enough to drive anyone insane. Pulled into a missing persons case he never wanted, Raines finds himself framed and hunted by the government. But as he searches for answers to clear his name, he discovers a truth he never could have imagined"--Provided by publisher.Book Synopsis
Duster Raines has demons. Some visit him in his dreams, reminding him of the choices he made in combat to survive. Others visit him while he's awake, demanding he pay penance for those sins. But lately, he's started seeing an alternate version of reality where he leads a life of importance full of wealth and power. Visions so vivid, they seem more real than the life he lives as a PI, scrounging the gutters of Los Angeles for an easy buck. It's enough to drive anyone insane.
Pulled into a missing persons case he never wanted, Raines finds himself framed and hunted by the government. But as he searches for answers to clear his name, he discovers a truth he never could have imagined. He possesses the ability to bend spacetime to accomplish incredible feats. With these powers, maybe he's got a shot at the life he deserves.
There's only one problem standing in his way, the other Duster Raines.
Review Quotes
"Recommended for space opera fans with a taste for irony." --Library Journal "Shadow of the Eternal Watcher combines elements of Heinlein-esque SF, including space travel, aliens, and interdimensional doppelgängers, with the fast-paced plot and traditional troubled-yet-compelling hero of a classic mystery-thriller." --Booklist "A dynamic world with high stakes and plenty of narrative twists." --Kirkus
