Harry August is a man out of time. No matter how he lives his life, no matter the choices he makes, death always returns him to his childhood — with all the knowledge of his previous incarnations. But when a young girl appears at his deathbed, she brings a dire warning: a looming global catastrophe that only Harry, in his endless rebirth, can prevent. Harry must race against the clock, and against his own repeated lives, to uncover the truth and stop the approaching devastation.
