Jonathan Stea is a clinical psychologist (and psychology professor) who knows a lot about the ailments of the mind. He's also a leader in the battle against a wellness industry that pretends psychological illness isn't real or can be resolved by lifestyle choices or dietary supplements.

Johnathan breaks down how misinformation works and how we can each inoculate ourselves against it. Highly recommended!

January Cole is head of security at a hotel that specializes in time travel for its guests! If that doesn't grab your attention, move on. But if you enjoy time travel stories like I do, you're in for a treat because this is a time travel mystery with heroes and villains and a few unexplained murders along the way. It's not violent, it's more a who dunnit tale but with weirdness all around. Highly enjoyable.

January Cole’s job just got a whole lot harder.

This is an exceptional story with an intriguing main character and a spectacular setting (Antarctica). What first appears to be a study at the south pole turns out to be a struggle to distinguish reality from fantasy. There are twists. People aren't who they seem to be. I enjoyed them all and didn't see them coming. That's the mark of good writing.
