They seldom see each other except at the annual family reunion, Book 10 brings these people together for their final reunion in the territory of Wyoming the first week of October, 1959. Some come from Scotland by ship, join others in NYC, ride a train to Omaha, and a stagecoach to Wyoming. Others riding a train from western Virginia mountains, joined them in Pittsburg.

Can you live your life by what The Twilight Zone has to teach you? Yes, and maybe you should. The proof is in this lighthearted collection of life lessons, ground rules, inspirational thoughts, and stirring reminders found in Rod Serling’s timeless fantasy series. Written by veteran TV critic, Mark Dawidziak, this unauthorized tribute is a celebration of the classic anthology show, but also, on another level, a kind of fifth-dimension self-help book, with each lesson supported by the morality tales told by Serling and his writers. The notion that “it’s never too late to reinvent yourself” soars through “The Last Flight,’’ in which a World War I flier who goes forward in time and gets the chance to trade cowardice for heroism. A visit from an angel blares out the wisdom of “follow your passion” in “A Passage for Trumpet.” The meaning of “divided we fall” is driven home with dramatic results when neighbors suspect neighbors of being invading aliens in “The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street.” The old maxim about never judging a book by its cover is given a tasty twist when an alien tome is translated in “To Serve Man.”

“A fascinating tale of reincarnation and redemption” from the New York Times–bestselling author of the Midgard and Fane series (Library Journal). Though mountain search-and-rescue worker Jesse Copeland is used to risking herself to save others, she must tap into all her reserves of bravery to solve the most haunting mystery of her life: her mother’s puzzling death. Little does Jesse know her investigation will make her the target of two men: a present-day threat and a centuries-old hero . . . Two hundred years ago, David Ventris, or Lord Ashthorpe, knew Jesse as a woman he had passionately desired—and then betrayed. Now he has a chance to right the wrongs of his past by protecting Jesse from the evil that stalks her. If only he can convince her of his corporeal existence and that he is a man she can love and trust, body and soul.
