About this listen

Finalist in the New Mexico-Arizona Book Awards

Clay Bauer, at the age of 38, is a second-rate actor in Hollywood. He's too mean-looking to get leading man roles in movies, so he's resigned himself to playing only villains.

While filming a low-budget Western in the red rocks of Sedona, Arizona, he hears about the vortices there -- places of power where people claim to have strange experiences, even traveling to other dimensions.

He doesn't believe any of it -- until he accidentally passes through a vortex and is transported more than 100 years into the past. Suddenly he's faced with playing the most important role of his life. Only this time, it's for real.

This is one of the best listens so far this year. The characters are engaging and the storyline is original, an interesting mix of past and present. The difference in going back 100 plus years and going forward 100 plus years is an intriguing question. The narration was excellent and brought the whole story to life. Highly recommended.
I was kindly given a copy of the book by the narrator and leave this honest review.

Loved it!
