Synopsis

James Feckidee’s recent divorce, and now the death of his beloved Uncle Phil, have left him with little will to live. But an ancient photograph of Uncle Phil and a stranger who hasn’t aged in forty years hints at a startling undercurrent running through all James’s trauma. James can join his new friends in their suicidal plan to “leave Earth,” or he can return home—where a monster waits to destroy the alarming powers of his young son, Austin. Between death and death, James chooses death; but waiting on those train tracks for the coming thunder might just be the best decision he will ever make. Death, it turns out, is not annihilation, but the first step in an unstoppable spiritual ascent.

About this title

Review

"Anders writes boldly and bravely, allowing his flawed narrator to experience all the selfishness and anger of an unjustly sidelined second banana... Fans of spiritual science fiction will hail Anders as an exciting new voice. Though it is broadly spiritual, this book's emphasis is primarily on the power of the written word rather than on any single religious tradition. The lyrical writing style is reminiscent of both William Blake and Ray Bradbury in its heavy use of metaphor and association."

--Foreword Clarion Reviews

"G. T. Anders is gifted in coming up with brilliant ideas. A Chair Between the Rails combines immortality, monsters, love, adventure, and literature... perseverance is rewarded. A Chair Between the Rails will delight and surprise readers page after page and help them view reality in a whole new way."

--Portland Book Review
