The Railroad That Died at Sea - The Florida East Coast's Key West Extension by Pat Parks
In a time not strictly determined, but that actually involves all the times of human existence, the action of this remarkably extraordinary novel takes place. This is a story about a man who is, against his own will, walking through the timeline, carried by his own desire to comprehend the meaning of his existence. In the hurried rhythm of incredible happenings he meets historical characters, but also those from the far future. He will confront his own dark side and realize just how little is necessary to attain eternity. At the very beginning the mysterious being, The Keeper, will pull the main character, David, but also the reader, on a trip to a small deserted village. That which looks innocent in the beginning will gradually turn into a nightmare of evil happenings that will unstoppably guide them towards an unknown goal. Along the journey he will meet people that he will share his own sufferings and doubts with, although they will be separated by an illusory abyss of a few hundred, even a few thousand years. This is the precise reason why this novel can be considered as a wonderful historical-futuristic combination in which time becomes irrelevant at moments. The perfect way in which the author manages to weld the reader to the book confirms his ability to place the seemingly impossible and inapprehensible phenomena for the standard man of today, into comprehendible and acceptable frames. Hence this novel reaches into the psyche of all and in this way allows them a chance to glimpse inside themselves and comprehend the meaning of their own existence. Once they have it in their hands they won't put it down until the very last page is turned.| SKU | Unavailable |
