'What if we could talk face-to-face with the people we were in the past, with the people we are in parallel lifetimes, in alternate worlds? What would we tell them, and what would we ask? How would we change if we new what waits beyond space and time?'
In a journey with his wife, Leslie, Richard Bach travels to a realm where survival depends on discovering what the other aspects of themselves have learned on roads they never took; where imagination and fear are tools for saving worlds and destroying them; where dying is one step to overcoming death.
One is Bach's most startling story yet, opening a mystical door on an alternative path to finding ourselves.

2.0 out of 5 starsDissapointing after the brilliance of Illusions, 17 Nov 2000
By A Customer
I picked up this book with eager anticipation after reading "Bridge Across Forever" and "Illusions". However, the author has, it seems, churned out a rather shallow story to what should have been a great opportunity to share his beliefs/ideas with the rest of us. If I didn't already have a great interest in this area of thought, I think I would have dismissed it half way through as nothing more than a bizarre half-hearted sci fi story. A shame really as with better construction, this could have been as big as Jonathan Livingstone Seagull!

5.0 out of 5 starsHeavenly.., 22 Aug 2000

To cut a long review short this book held me captivated until the end. Such fabulous ideas about time, life and relationships as always. So far my favourite of Bach's.
As many other readers I too have enjoyed & loved previous Richard Bach books. This however is a massive dissapointment. The book is nothing more than a vanity project, Richard Bach comes across as being so self obessed & self indulgent that it is hard to actually finish reading this book.
