The sequel to Second Lives, praised by Publishers Weekly as "a rewarding exploration of the emotions felt both by those confronting their own deaths and those left behind to mourn."

It has been four years since the first Travelers came back, and in that time their numbers have grown. There is still no explanation for their existence, but for the most part they have been accepted into society and given special protection under the law. There are those, however, who see these Imposters as a threat to both their lives and their faith. The True Borns believe in “One Body, One Soul” and will do everything and anything in their power to put an end to the Travelers.
