Book Description

Publication Date: April 1 2010

In one moment, with no explanation, six billion humans fall unconscious. For three minutes, minds collide with truths hidden beyond the physical realm.

During those decisive minutes, every conceivable accident transpires. People reawaken to a world that has changed, drastically and horrifically, with decimated populations and gutted social order. And no one seems to remember the truth that has been revealed.

But Laura remembers—most of it, anyway. Yet even she doesn’t know why all post-Blackout births are mutations... and what is

so wrong with some of the survivors.

4.0 out of 5 stars The Stand Meets Factoring Humanity Nov 17 2011
By N. A. Young
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Highly reminiscent of Stephen King, particularly The Stand with similarities to the philosophy and "big question" in Robert J. Sawyer's Factoring Humanity. If you like either author I would highly recommend.

5.0 out of 5 stars Suspenseful page turner Aug 31 2010
By Corinthius - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
A Catch in Time reads like a suspenseful film in which you find yourself on the edge of your seat awaiting the next turn of events. Hidden in this highly visual story is an insightful commentary on humanity and the challenges we face in a time where ignorance and knowledge are coming to a head. I'm not sure why the jacket depicts it as a "horror" because, although scary at times, it is hardly an emphasis of the writing, unless you are just plain scared of the human nature. All in all it is a good read that takes you away but also gives you something to think about after the final page has been turned.

5.0 out of 5 stars intriguing thriller April 1 2010
By Harriet Klausner - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
A mysterious force leaves people unconscious for three minutes. When they awaken, they remember nothing about what went on during that time and the global population was decimated. The only person to recall what occurred was Laura who saw an energy dimension and a community of Shadows on the other side of the "barrier". They are the creators for every life form on the planet and responsible for the evolutionary leaps from amoebas to humans.

A second wave causes massive headaches as a dark energy bombarded the world, which made people evil. They become Shaitan and since the energy well is closed, all newborns are filled with dark eyes marking them as the evil Shairan. Older children and adults that were turned by dark energy are recognizable by their darkened eyes. Years later Laura's daughter Lily is kidnapped by her Shaitan father. Laura and her family mount a rescue and while they are doing this they want to find a way to open the energy barrier so the souls can come in and the dark will leave so that the balance will be restored.

Readers who enjoyed THE STAND will want to read A Catch in Time. Although bizarre religions emerge after the energy waves strike, this is not a religious thriller as the heroine sees through the false prophets. No one believes what she claims she saw during the unconscious state, but she insists the devolution of humanity is happening with dark energy entering people especially babies. Although not fully explained why the waves started, Dalia Roddy provides an intriguing thriller.
