WOW! Dete Meserve, the Author of “The Memory Collectors” has written an intriguing, captivating, and exhilarating novel. What would you do if you had the opportunity to time travel and replay and live in an hour from your past? In this “OUT OF THIS WORLD” well-written novel, the author explores the possibilities of several characters having that chance. The Genres for this novel are Science Fiction, Mystery and Suspense, Time Travel, Fiction and Adult Fiction. The author vividly describes the scenery, plot, dramatic characters, and the emotional feelings.

Dete Meserve has written a book that has many of the vibes that remind me of the movie “Back to the Future” I read this book in one sitting and couldn’t put this down. There are several characters that have the opportunity to time travel back for an hour in time, serviced by “Aeon Expeditions” a time travel invention that is very expensive and very selective for the participants. Mark Saunders, one of the main character’s husband had been working on this project. 

Four strangers from Ventura California, go on Aeon Expeditons. Their lives are intertwined and connected more than they know. On a specific date, there had been a tragic occurrence with deadly and despairing consequences. If somehow, this travel back in time can change the circumstances, it would be a miracle. Aeon Expeditions make no promises. As a matter of fact, something goes wrong, and the hour expires and the characters remain in the past, not knowing when, how or what can happen. During this time there are twists, turns, dangers, and death.

I appreciate how Dete Meserve discusses the importance of forgiveness, second chances, family, friends, love and hope. I highly recommend this memorable and thought-provoking novel. Am I ready to purchase a ticket through Aeon Exhibitions? I do hope that Dete Meserve will be writing other books in this series. Please, Dete!!!
