In Any Lifetime: A Novel Kindle Edition
A devoted husband defies fate and risks everything to find the one universe where his beloved wife is still alive in this bold and thought-provoking novel.
Dr. Jonas Cullen has spent his career as a groundbreaking physicist defying the odds. But on the best night of his life—the night his wife, Amanda, tells him they’re finally having a baby—everything is taken away when a tragic car accident claims the lives of Amanda and their unborn child.
Gutted by pain, Jonas sets out to find a way to bring back Amanda—or rather, find a parallel universe in which she’s still alive. But that’s easier said than done. As Jonas comes to understand all too well, the universe favors certain outcomes…and Amanda’s death is one of them.
Guggenheim’s novel takes readers on a suspenseful journey, intercutting scenes of Jonas’s frantic, present-day search across multiple realities with glimpses from the past of his unfolding romance and eventual marriage. Will Jonas and Amanda reunite in some other world, or will fate succeed in taking her from him forever?

Editorial Reviews
Review
“Marc Guggenheim is one of the great imaginative minds of our medium and a born storyteller, yarn weaver, and world creator of the highest order. Dive in!” —Guillermo del Toro
“Heartfelt and beautifully written, In Any Lifetime elegantly leaps between science fiction and romance, begging you to ask the age-old question: How far will you go for the one you love?” —Brad Meltzer, #1 bestselling author of The Lightning Road and The Escape Artist
“In Any Lifetime is a special book, the kind that seamlessly weaves genres together to tell a story that feels vibrant and fresh but also timeless. A multiverse thriller/romance that is packed with heart and stakes—I was hooked from page one.” —Alex Segura, bestselling author of Secret Identity
“In Any Lifetime is a fantastic Crichton-esque techno-thriller take on parallel words, with a powerful emotional core. Grabbed me from the first chapter.” —Charles Soule, bestselling author of Star Wars: Light of the Jedi and The Oracle Year
“Propulsive, thrilling, well-crafted, and deeply romantic, In Any Lifetime will bend your mind and keep you turning pages late into the night” —Ayelet Waldman, creator of the Netflix series Unbelievable and author of Love and Other Pursuits
From the Publisher
When Jonas, a physicist, loses his pregnant wife, Amanda, he puts what had been only theories—until now—into practice, and sets off to find a universe where she is still alive. The odds are against him, because the universe actually seems to believe in destiny, which means there is only one universe out of billions where Amanda still lives. Now, Jonas has to fight not only against fate, but also against alternate versions of himself and the doubts in his own heart to find out whether it’s possible to love someone too much.
I could not read this fast enough, eager to experience Guggenheim’s just-slightly-different versions of our world, and found myself screaming in frustration along with Jonas when he discovered yet another world where Amanda didn’t exist, then crying happy tears while reliving their love story. I hope all versions of you enjoy this spellbinding book that proves that the laws of physics are no match for love.
—Chantelle Aimée Osman, Editor

Doctor Jonas Cullen had developed a theory that there are multi universes. When he and his wife Amanda have a car accident and she is killed, he is determined to find her in one of the other universes.
Jonas sets out to find a parallel universe where Amanda is still alive. However, things do no always work out for him.
The story is fast paced, with trauma, love, hate, friends and enemies.
This is an interesting story and I loved it.
