Description

Dan Tompkins, dead of supernatural causes at age 22, washes up on Lethe, where souls go to forget life and strive for Elysium. Pining for Gina, the love he left behind, Dan wants out. He teams with rogue soul Marco Sabonis to find a way back to the land of life. The Elysial powers are not amused. There may be Hell to pay.

Review by: Angelo Tsanatelis on May 16, 2011 :
I enjoyed this story. It has a clever plot and in a lot of ways, a rewarding ending. Worth the download.

Review by: LouAnn on May 14, 2011 :
A.Sparrow has not disappointed me yet. The premise of life after death is always intoxicating. The parallels to the Greek underworld cannot be dismissed. Enjoyed the ending...or is it a beginning???

Review by: Geoffrey Thomas on Oct. 07, 2010 :
I must admit that I like Xenolith and Peregrin better than Lethe. I am a fan of A.Sparrow. And I don't normally like to walk down this path.
But Lethe is a neat spin on the mythical Greek underworld location.
You will not regret reading this work by an up-and-coming author.
Like other reviewers, I like the ending.

Review by: stano on Sep. 09, 2010 : (no rating)
Thoroughly recommended.
The book begins with the death of young man Daniel, the main hero of the book. From here the book looks backward, a little bit, but mainly it looks forward, to her (no, "her" is not a typo ;-) ) adventures on Lethe.
Lethe is the place where [some?] souls end up [temporarily?] when they die. Except that Daniel is not a soul. Jet.
To me, Lethe had a lot in common with the underworld from the Greek mythology. And yet, the book has a very contemporary feel.

I found the conclusion of the book very ... satisfying. I can't be more specific, because I do not want to spoil the book for you.
