Reflections from the Moon Sl Thomas

It's become a cliché that bad things happen to good people, but they always have. Every day, the news is getting more overwhelmed with tragic stories of murder, abductions, shootings, and other violence while the heartwarming stories are becoming fewer and farther between. But what if someone had the power to grant happier endings to otherwise tragic stories using limitless information that no one else could possibly possess? These people are out there... but how they choose to use this power could have unintended consequences. Light from the Sun takes 8 minutes and 20 seconds to reach the Earth. From the Moon, light reflected from the Sun takes only 1.25 seconds. For a star one light year away, it would take a full year for its light to touch the Earth... the definition of a light year. Every time we look to the sky we're looking back in time. And time, as it turns out, is a complicated tool to wield. Twin brothers, Ian and Alex Tucker, uncover the raw complexities of these capabilities in their efforts to understand the life's work of their late grandfather, George. Along with Ian's girlfriend, Simone, and G. R. A. M. P. S., an A. I. designed to help guide them, they embark on their journey to flesh out the potential of the advanced technology. Like his grandfather before him, Alex is a technological genius and the only person to whom George could entrust, or could even understand, his legacy. Ian and Simone act as moral thought leaders to ensure that they remain true to George's intentions. In keeping with the wishes of their grandfather, they use his journals to help find people the answers that are otherwise lost, find closure to otherwise open wounds, and bring down evil that is otherwise hidden. They soon discover that these efforts are only half of the battle, as the consequences of their actions have a price that they hadn't anticipated.
