From the book jacket
IN A SINGLE MOMENT
...the lives of three men will be forever changed. In that split second, defined paradoxically by both salvation and loss, they will destroy the world and then restore it. Much had come before, and much would come after, but nothing would color their lives more than that one, isolated instant on the edge of forever.

But living an existence he was not meant to, he will eventually have to move on, and ultimately face the shadows born of his lost life.
