Florida Book Festival Award – Honorable Mention Best General Fiction A national security decision made decades ago ensnares Jonathan Hart, orphaned at birth, introverted, friendless, but whose life is starting to turn the corner. He has a great job and a fiancé who loves him. Suddenly, his life begins to skip backward and replay like an LP bumped on a turntable. Decisions made at the highest governmental levels more than twenty years ago begin to disrupt time and destroy his future. Finally, he is charged with a crime so awful that he contemplates suicide. What he does not know is that dying is not an option he controls. What People Say “Seventeen Seconds” immediately captures the reader’s attention and is a fantastical ride all the way to the surprising end. You don’t need a bookmark for this one as you won’t want to put it down!” —Harry Trombitas, Special Agent (Ret.), Federal Bureau of Investigation
