I Can See Clearly Now

What if you could see the life you never lived? Commander Daniel Forrester has spent forty years among the stars. At fifty-eight, he is a respected starship commander with a lifetime of exploration behind him. But when news reaches him that Elizabeth-the woman he once intended to marry-has died, Daniel is forced to confront the question that has haunted him for decades: What if he had stayed? Then the Resolute discovers something impossible. Another starship appears in space. It is the Resolute. It carries the same identification number, the same crew, and the same commanding officer. But it comes from somewhere else. Daniel has encountered an alternate reality. And in that reality, another version of himself made a different choice. That Daniel stayed on Earth. He married Elizabeth. He helped establish humanity's first permanent colony on Mars. And Elizabeth is still alive. For the first time, Daniel can see the life he has spent forty years imagining. But the boundaries between the two realities are beginning to collapse. As alternate histories bleed into one another, Daniel faces an impossible choice: pursue the life he believes he should have lived-or save the people whose lives depend upon the reality he actually chose. To make that choice, Daniel must finally confront the difference between regretting the past and living in it. I Can See Clearly Now is a reflective science-fiction novella about alternate realities, impossible choices, lost love, regret, acceptance, and the courage to embrace the future.
