Publisher's Synopsis
CONNECTING OBSESSION is a sci-fi mystery, and the story of a romance that is far from ordinary.
How far would you go to save the woman you love? Beyond the boundaries of established science? Okay, but what if you had never actually met her?
As a teenager, Richard Stevenson stumbles across a newspaper cutting of a young actress taken at a Gala dinner in Los Angeles in 2014, and is intrigued by the haunted expression on her face. Subsequent research into her life reveals that she killed herself in 2017 following an assault that took place a few years before the gala. This triggers an obsession with the girl.
Around that time, Richard is also growing increasingly frustrated. His studies to expand upon the theories of General Relativity and Quantum Physics, especially those concerning the flow of time and space, are ignored by all his contemporaries.
Rachel Starr is a wannabe actress. She has been in Hollywood for two years, but she is not alone. There are hundreds like her, and many face dangers from those who would entice them into the world of pornography, prostitution, or simply into bed.
One day, Rachel meets Paul Lander, an enigmatic character seemingly possessing an intimate knowledge of what the future holds for her - and, indeed, the rest of us - unless he can use his three obsessions to intercede on her behalf.
