Whether we have a sense of certainty about the afterlife or not, most of us ponder what exactly happens in the moments after the light goes out of our eyes. This book is, in part, about those moments, but it is also much more. It explores our purpose here, in this lifetime, and our control of it, and it does so in a beautiful, swooping story about a pilot whose time has been a grand adventure. In a way, it is a “coming of age” tale of a man in his 70’s who finally sees where he is going and where he has been. Having followed him on his journey, there is now no way I won’t be considering my own.
