- Summary:
- Combining the age-old science-fiction gambit of time travel and new-age belief in reincarnation, Trap Door to Heaven follows the adventures of a soul through various incarnations spanning 25 centuries. Drawing upon inspiration from myth and religion - Celtic, ancient Hawaiian, Hebrew, Egyptian, Mi'kmaq - as well as scientific concepts of geological evolution, psychic telepathy, drug therapy, and computer interactivity, the author transports his protagonist to nineteenth-century Maui, Europe during the Children's Crusades, Nova Scotia before the Europeans arrived, ancient Mesopotamia, and futuristic settings and eras. The protagonist's quest for spiritual fulfillment focuses on family relationships, however strangely families may behave across time from then to now and beyond.
