Tom Pawlick takes an interesting angle on Mr Constant's offer to relive seven hours of life, put death off by seven hours, or to pass on either offer. The story begins with the protagonist, Adrian, who finds himself sixty years younger and not sure how or why. The reader takes an increasingly intense ride with Adrian as he struggles to figure it all out.

Overall, I really enjoyed the story. A couple of things didn't quite sit well with me, though. The palm reader made me uncomfortable. That is probably a good thing. I do appreciate how Pawlick presents her from a non-Christian world view making the character real and believable. Next, I felt that the ending was a little rushed, but that is a minor complaint in he grand scheme of things. He did catch me by surprise with he ending and that I really liked. This is the first I've read of Pawlick. I like his style and would be willing to give another of his works a shot.
