About this book

Tom Foster is dead, but he refuses to let that be the end of his story. When the teen hacker discovers a way to hijack the eternal database, he seizes a second chance at life by commandeering the body of a troubled stranger. Thrust into the chaotic streets of New York City during the height of the pandemic, Tom is armed with a pair of smart glasses that reveal the truth: floating above every person’s head is a Scorecard determining their final destination.

This gripping urban fantasy blends high-stakes suspense with a unique metaphysical twist. Tom’s mission is simple but terrifying: he has seven days to manipulate his own score before his Death Clock runs out. To secure his place in the afterlife, he must track down a soul with a score of zero—or craft one himself. Along the way, he finds an unlikely found-family that challenges everything he thought he knew about morality and redemption.

If you are looking for a paranormal read that balances dark, thought-provoking themes with a heart-pounding race against time, this is your next obsession. It is a genre-bending journey where every choice carries a cosmic cost and love might just be the ultimate cheat code.

What Would My Score Be?

February 17, 2024

Now here’s a novel storyline. Is it simply science fiction or a statement on the challenges of living through Covid and the current political polarization of the U.S.? With some similarities to the movie “Defending your Life”, this is a new slant on the concept of what happens to you after you die. In all it is an eminently readable first novel by Levi Drop, with some thought-provoking concepts along the way. Evidently the Universe runs on human power. It doesn’t seem to matter if you are a...

New twist

April 25, 2025

I'll give points for creativity, I've never read anything like this. Definitely not my style, but nobody can call me a quitter. Not for anyone who dislikes explicit content (wish there was a warning), believes in God, so pretty much not for me. The idea is novel, a kid gets offed and ends up coding the Afterlife and then hacking it. Like I said, not my taste. Otherwise good and well written )
