A near death experience leaves a coldly rational neurosurgeon haunted by that moment of transcendence. In search of unearthly light, Dr. Martin Singer descends into the dark. A price will be paid by his family, a soldier gravely injured in Vietnam, and the two nurses he can't get out of his increasingly troubled mind.

"The best OR nurse can become part of one's body and mind. The author of this intensely dramatic tale understands that as well as the harm done by emotional withdrawal. I actually lost some sleep after reading this deep and powerful inquiry into consciousness."-- Ralph G. DePalma, M.D., F.A.C.S., Special Operations Officer in VA Office of Research and Development; former National Director, Surgical Services; author of Practicing and Other Stories and Chief Complaints
