A Little About The Prodigal Hour:
When Chance Sowin moves back home, he’s hoping for familiarity and security. Just six weeks earlier he narrowly escaped the World Trade Center attacks. Instead, he interrupts a burglary during which his father, Dennis, is shot and killed.
What begins as a homicide investigation escalates when the Joint Terrorism Task Force arrives. Chance is plagued with unexpected questions: who killed his father, and why?
Chance might not know the answers, but Cassie Lackesis, Dennis’ research assistant, thinks she does.
Together with Cassie, Chance will go on a journey across time and space that will challenge his every notion of ideas like “right” and “good.” One young man’s desire to make a difference will become, instead, a race against time as he tries to prevent forces he could never understand from not just destroying the universe but rendering it nonexistent.
