Opis

Not too many people survive a 35,000-foot fall - six miles into a snowbank. But Theodore Bundy is one of the few who does. Unfortunately, he cannot tell anyone about his rare adventure. Firstly, the FBI has arrested Theodore Bundy for suspicion of blowing up the very plane from which he fell. And secondly, he cannot remember what happened. Instead, Theodore comes out of a coma in a Denver hospital several days after boarding the Los Angeles-bound plane only to learn that he somehow has become the man accused of bombing American Airlines flight 606 to kingdom come. Worse, he is not credited as being the survivor of a massive fall out of the sky. Another man - an actor named Herbert Montgomery - is. And while recovering in the hospital, Theodore discovers that he is no longer Theodore Bundy. He is not sure who or what he is, but Theodore is, in fact, slowly transforming into the equivalent of human singularity. From here, the surrealism factor only multiplies. Theodore's wife is told that her husband is having an affair with a Colorado woman who is actually an FBI agent guarding Theodore in a witness protection program. And Theodore deduces that the plane was not actually blown out of the sky, but was downed by something far more nefarious. Theodore's singularity-intellect is now a rapidly-expanding data base of information that seems to have no limit - much like the ever-expanding universe. Still, having unlimited knowledge does not expand his memory in terms of the fall. He seems to be prohibited from remembering the details. Did his unique plunge actually take place? Was he even on the plane? And what impact does Einstein's Theory of Relativity have on Theodore's journey through incomprehensible circumstances? Is it relativity - or is it human perception? Or - is it just gravity?
