Description
Humanity is counting on Grace to let her son die.
It’s the end of the 21st century, and Grace's son, Jordan, has contracted a fatal soul-stealing disease, Metagenesis. Desperate to save him, Grace volunteers for an unapproved trial involving time travel.
Leaving Jordan with her estranged husband, Grace and her best friend, Kay, embark on a journey to Las Vegas, circa 2000, racing against time in search of the cure.
But the hunt proves to be more than they bargained for. Mysterious assassins lurk around every corner, and someone is sabotaging their mission, leading Grace to a gruesome discovery.
The sinister truth behind the trial forces Grace to make a painful decision—with her son’s life hanging in the balance. If she saves him, she triggers widespread Metagenesis, sealing the fate of the human race with a new plague. Her other choice is to let Jordan die.

If nothing else, this novel is incentive in its ideas!
It is set in the 2080's, and humanity is now under threat of a pandemic never before imagined until now. It does not involve either virus or bacterium. Humanity is threatened by metagenesis, where the soul simply leaves the body, bringing certain death. It also means no more new lives: by this time in the future, reincarnation has been proven beyond all doubt.
Grace's child is now succumbing to the disease. All seems lost, until the CEO of a company offers her the opportunity of travelling back in time to find the predecessor of her husband, and return with part of his soul essence in a syringe. This will cure her son - and, she is told, cure millions of others.
So she sets out with best friend, Kay. However, she is to find that things are not as simple they seem, and more may be asked of her than she can humanly give.
As the title implies, Grace's mission is a heroic one, but she is far from perfect.
As can be seen, this novel uses elements of Science fiction tropes, utvtbesecsedm more to the the means to an end. This seems to be more about the romantic notion that true love may stretch many lifetimes, and how this may never run smoothly.
This novel also works as a tbrler, and the many twists and revelations certainly ensure the turning of the pages.
As such, this is an enjoyable read - moreover, more is promused, in a coming sequel.
