Description
There’s a ghost in Peter’s head. But it’s not truly a ghost. It’s the impression of a collective memory from a previous life—a life he lived once before, after being struck and crippled by a drunk driver behind the wheel of a company car. When he wakes in the hospital, his entire body shattered, he ‘knows’ that he is living an impossible ‘reset.’ It is October 1989, and he is 15 years old again, but the vague memories of somebody far older are stuck in his head. He distantly recalls a troubled life of excess, drugs, and crime. One thing he knows for absolute certain is that he will not be making the same mistakes twice.
The first in a three-book series that follows the meteoric rise of a young man facing extreme odds to transition from a crippled boy to the most powerful person on the planet.

This book kept me hooked from the start. Peter shows courage after an accident that left him a double amputee. I can relate to learning to walk on 2 prosthetics, since I lost both of my legs and had to do the same thing. Peter deals with memories of a past life, takes care of his mother, and starts a gaming software company, and romance. This is a fast-paced book that will keep you turning the pages. I highly recommend reading. A+++
