If you are looking for a typical time travel story, you will be sorely disappointed. More than one reviewer who didn't like this book missed the real meaning behind it. Yes, it talks about repeating lives by the two main characters and some others needed for the plot. Harry does use his knowledge of the future when he repeats his life again and again. But the real idea behind it all is a society comprised of numerous other people who experience the same thing. They come to believe that the end of the world is accelerating but they don't know why it's happening. During most of his repeated lives, he slowly attempts to track down the reason. Part spy novel, part science fiction, and part thriller - all pursued through centuries of repeated lives. At times it was difficult to get through it, but I'm glad I did. Powerful! D.
