Publisher's Synopsis
Every time Harry August dies, he is reborn in exactly the same time and place. No matter what he does or the decisions he makes, when death comes, Harry always returns to where he began. He only knows that there are others like him. As Harry nears the end of his eleventh life, a little girl appears at his bedside. "I nearly missed you, Doctor August," she says. "I need to send a message. It has come down from child to adult, child to adult, passed back through generations from a thousand years forward in time. The message is that the world is ending, and we cannot prevent it. So now it's up to you."
