Camila Hidalgo is the presidential press secretary. She was once married to Trent Calloway, a CIA remote psychic viewer, but divorced him because he was never home. Eventually, Trent resigned from his espionage job to become a riverboat guide in the Southwest. Though they still love one another, they have not seen each other in six years.

However, suddenly Camila waits for Trent to return from a rafting trip. Her bosses want him to psychically spy on Justin Logan, a healer some claim is the Messiah, and the man’s patron Melissa Dahl. Trent refuses to invade Justin’s privacy, but soon regrets his decision as Melissa unleashes three deadly viruses in the nation’s capital that kill many people including Camila. Trent must go back in time to fix what he could have prevented the first time around.

JUST IN TIME is just incredible as a tongue in cheek look at remote psychic espionage. Billy Dee Williams and Rob MacGregor bring a modern day “Get Smart” satire of the spy novel that will please those readers who enjoy an amusing thriller. Besides those who gain pleasure from strong doses of irony, new Age enthusiasts will relish this tale.
