Henry cage is a middle aged man who appears to have it all. However, he is forced into an early retirement by his company-----a company he started and his life begins to unravel. The beginning of the book is really the end so we know where life is going for Henry. Random events seem to rule his life. After the first chapter the book turns us back five years to millennium eve. Henry has a random violent encounter and is stalked by a disturbed young man. His ex-wife’s illness forces a reconcilitation with her and through this he renews his relationship with his estranged son and forms a bond with a grandson he did not know he had. Of course, we know how this melancholy story ends-----but it is well written and a first time author.
