The Baldwin Hotel - Paperback

by Lonnie Busch (Author)

Past and future collide in this mind-bending plunge into choices and consequences, when a young video game designer meets his new boss, who not only has a connection to the young man's past, but a pivotal role in determining his future!

Game designer Theodore Trumbull understands the addictive allure of video games; the chance for unlimited do-overs until you achieve your goal! As a young boy, Theodore was granted a cosmic do over and chose a different outcome to spare his best friend a brutal thrashing, though his choice resulted in another boy's death. Theodore had glimpsed the future or changed the past, he would never be sure, but the event destroyed his childhood.

It's 1979 and Theodore is about to be given another opportunity to choose a different outcome, to save someone he loves. But this time there's another player in the game, his boss, president of DreamCo, Frank Cantwell, a corporate gladiator with an insatiable appetite for wealth, and a dangerous fixation on the paranormal.

Through a disturbing synchronicity, Theodore and Cantwell are flung back together to explore their haunting connection to each other, one that stretches across two thousand miles and nearly two decades, all the way back to The Baldwin Hotel.
