From Goodreads:
When a chance collision with a beautiful woman in Central
Park results in a head injury, international business consultant James
McBride’s perfectly structured and rote life suddenly begins to unravel as he
learns that every memory he has seems to be false and, in fact, he is not the
same person that he thinks he is.
James McBride is a workaholic who thinks his life is almost
perfect the way it is. He goes into the office early, stays late, works
weekends, travels to exotic locations and has no ambitions of a wife,
girlfriend or any type of social life. With a spectacular Park Avenue apartment
and all the material goods a person could want, he is content with his
seemingly perfectly planned, albeit one-dimensional, existence. All of this
changes one afternoon after a collision with Sarah Plummer, a beautiful and
free-spirited woman, forces him to ‘break routine’. Injured and dazed by a
fall, she helps him to her apartment to rest. He awakens confused, only to be
talked into doing something he could not ever recall doing; taking the day off.
By the next day, they find themselves being pursued by people from his firm,
singularly intent on killing her and capturing him. Only by a bizarre encounter
with Bob Eaton, a white-hat computer hacker and security consultant, himself on
the run from the mafia, does he begin to unravel the reason for these events,
and understand how they can confront their respective enemies.
My Review:
When I started this book, I was very unsure of what I was
reading. The first few chapters made me
doubt that I would be able to finish this book. Boy am I glad that I stuck with it. By chapter 3 I was hooked. I could not possibly stop reading. I even was up way past my usual bedtime and
got up early to keep reading. This is a
book that was taken wherever I went and read every available minute.
The character of James, or Jammer, intrigued me. I could not imagine not knowing my history,
not having any friends, and being “programmed.”
He lived his life as it was planned never knowing to question what he
was doing. When he met Sarah Plummer,
or rather got ran over by, his whole life changed, for the better and for
good. He became real, not just doing
the motions but actually living life. The emotions between Sarah and James were
real. Not rushed and hot and
steamy. They were not the main focus of
the story, more of a back ground story.
This is not a romance story.
This is a mystery and suspense novel.
I highly recommend that you check out this novel and Paul Winters. You will not be sorry.
