Daniel Brasher is winding down his job as a therapist to released criminals when he starts getting death threats in his inner office main - death threats aimed at other people. Can he figure out what is happening before the killer turns to him?

This author always creates great plots and outstanding characters and pull you in, and this book is no exception. It's another amazing thrill ride from start to finish.

I enjoyed all three stories in this book. I was with emotional though out the book. The first book is about learning to deal with death of a love one and learn to get though your marriage struggles of your marriage that you when though.

The second book talks about depression and a bit about marriage struggles. This book also talks about telling the truth and adoption. This is quite a story and about foster care as well.

The third story is about death as well and learning to trusting in good.

This is a collection of 17 near death experiences which are well written and engaging. Each chapter is illustrated at the start by showing us the body part which nearly caused the death of O'Farrell, I thought this was a nice touch. Sometimes I fumbled a bit whilst reading through this book and ultimately got a bit jumbled in places too. I think the confusion would of been solved if the incidences were written in chronological order. It felt a bit too all over the place rather than a good, smooth read.

Basically, Star Wars 'what-if's'.

What if Lukes attack run on the original Death Star had failed?
What if Luke had frozen to death on Hoth?
What if the attempt to free the frozen-in-Carbonitite Han from Jabba the Hutt had failed?

And, most intriguingly, what had George Lucas's original vision looked like?

As in any compilation, some of these stories are better than others - it's also quite easy to spot the similarities between Lucas's original vision and the Prequel trilogy (most noticeably in how Leia is portrayed)!

"I've been dipping in and out of this book since my early 20s. I completely respond to one of its basic notions — self-responsibility. It's about preparing for a good death, and I've found that in having a child, you're confronted by your mortality each day as the child grows and blossoms. But every single element in our Western society is a denial of death. We don't want to think about it, which compounds the terror we feel about it. This book helps one to navigate one's way through the terror."
