Lost Souls and Source Code

by Eris R. Lebeau

It started with James losing Sarah, but nothing stays so simple. What’s “lost,” anyway? Is it like a file being deleted from your hard drive? Because the file isn’t really gone. It’s out of sight, sure, but it’s still there, and as any white-collar crook can tell you, a file can come back to haunt you. While finishing Sarah’s magnum opus, a program called Alithea, James becomes immersed in her past. He finds out about Raven and Marie, two childhood friends Sarah had never mentioned. Both women hide secrets, though in Marie’s case, that isn’t unexpected. After all, she’s been dead for seven years. James soon begins to question both his conception of reality and his own sanity. Is death far less final than we think, or has losing Sarah made him as buggy as a beta version?

[James · Rating 5 out of 5]

Lost Souls and Source code is the story of James Conner, a brilliant computer programmer suffering the loss of his fiancée Sara. Moving into an old house in Sara’s old neighborhood, James begins to learn of his fiancée’s past and begins the heart-wrenching task of overcoming the pain of his loss. With the help of Sara’s parents and some of the locals, James faces the demons haunting him and comes to terms with Sara’s sudden death.
Lost Souls and Source code is a well-written book and displays Lebeau’s talent quite well. Solid characterization, witty dialogue and a bevy of emotional and thought provoking passages drive this book to a very satisfying ending. Lebeau has created his opener quite well and this reviewer is anxious to read future installments of James Conner’s tale. A five star read.
