To ever-loyal Kirby Winter, multimillionaire Uncle Omar left nothing -- nothing but a gold watch and a sealed letter to be opened in one year. But Kirby is destined to inherit the magical power to freeze time in its tracks. Power like that promises unlimited wealth, wealth that can't buy love, but does make a down payment on a lot of deadly trouble. In a universe without time, can Kirby stay one step ahead?
After you've read this book, you just can't believe that it was written by a career colonel during WW II.
It's some kind of sci-fi novel, but this doesn't occupy the central place in the plot. Rather, all kinds of philosophical considerations are explored by meeting a plethora of very vividly and realistically portrayed characters, all this while keeping the general tone light.
