On The Way Home Review & *Giveaway*

On The Way Home by Selwyn D. Goodwin

About The Book:

On the Way Home is a unique story. Stephen Henderson, neurosurgeon, head of his department at a local medical school, is returning home after a late night call to the hospital. He is stopped by a police officer, gets out of his car at the officer's request, and wakes up to find himself in a space ship on its way to a universe in parallel with ours. He would have said that such a thing was ridiculous and couldn't possibly happen - and we might have agreed with him. But he is forced to change his opinion. Why? What happened? The "police officer" has abducted him to perform an operation on a powerful political leader. The surgery is successful, but unexpectedly this success leads Henderson into a situation where his life and return to Earth are threatened. The assistant surgeon at the operation is a beautiful woman who is drawn to Henderson, and into his struggle to escape. Henderson gets back to Earth convinced that he was away out in space. We'll be as sure as he is, after we read On the Way Home.

My Thoughts:

This is such an engrossing read! It is a bit slow going at first, but then it really picks up, and you can't put the book down. This is usually not the kind of book I would generally read, but of course, for a review, I had to give it a go. And I was pleasantly surprised how much I enjoyed it. I would love to see a sequel to this book, or somehow make it into a series! Great imaginative book!

About The Author:

I was born in London, England, and was an infant in July 1932 when my parents, two older brothers and I, emigrated to South Africa. We settled in Capetown, a beautiful city to grow up in. I qualified as an M.D.in 1960 at the University of Cape Town, practiced as a Family Physician in South Africa until 1972, then immigrated to the United States in the middle of that year. After a year as a resident in a teaching institution (Providence Hospital) in Portland, Oregon, I continued as a Family Physician, first in Clovis, New Mexico and the last twenty years in Richmond, VA, and retired about 2004. I now live in Castle Rock, CO with my wife while I wait fairly patiently for sales of my novel "On the Way Home" to take off, and for the story to be made into a popular movie and a smash at the box office.
