Dr. Paul Stevens is someone you've probably never even heard of, story of his life he dreamed of creating big change as a Psychologist, but egression and invisibility are the marker of his life.

He follows the lives of young Michael, an aspiring millionaire realtor, Jim, a middle-aged, middle-class bank executive, Claire, his college love, and John Whitman, while using mastery manipulation techniques to create an illusion of a future that could be theirs. What Dr. Paul Stevens didn't foretell was just how much his own future would wind up intertwined with their own.
Professional Reviews
Suspense and Substance . . . a compelling combination
An intriguing psychological spin on the Dorian Gray concept in which several characters are given the opportunity to "see" a snapshot of their future for a price -- a million dollars -- although the real price turns out to be much higher. Common threads run through the various subplots: wealth vs happiness, the debilitating effects of substance abuse, infidelity and excess on relationships, and the way our daily choices affect our future. The author does a fine job of building and blending stories, constructing strong, believable characters and pushing the narrative pace with well-crafted dialogue. If you're looking for a genuine page-turner with depth and substance, you owe it to yourself to read this book.
