Tom Patterson stopped aging after an accident in 1959 when he was thirty years old. The same accident made him a telepath. Not aging presents problems. Tom must stage his death and start over about every twenty-five years with a new identity, which means he can't grow old with his women. When he is seventy-six, he starts a new life as Clint Wayne, a life he plans to spend in quiet contemplation at a small horse ranch in Arizona. Will he find love and happiness?

Reviewed:
This story was written across a nine month period in 2011. As of this writing, it is rated 8.53 and fully deserves the same.
This story has two main strengths. First, it is a good story. It moves actively from a humble beginning to a humble end. The action between these two poles is fast paced and will keep your attention. I know it kept mine.
The second strength is character development. Paul Phenomenon took the time to even develop some of the minor characters. And by taking time I mean taking a half chapter doing so. And it's worth it as the character development lends force to the action taken by the characters later in the story.
The only negative that I can mention is sequencing; sometimes the character acts before he/she is fully developed. It's a minor problem though,and not enough to take away from a full enjoyment of the story.
It's a great story and hard to put down once you start. Take the time.
