It's 1944, and while notable scientists are working in Los Alamos on the Gadget, Nick Nishimura, PhD, and his colleagues are focused on the Trick. When he realized that his teleportation Trick kind of worked, jumping from New Mexico to Arizona but also from 1944 to 2008, he had a lot of questions. Soon he was not alone in his search for answers. Within a few months, Nick had found family, old friends, new friends, and a place to safely continue his research. Sharing Thanksgiving with them, all promised to be a happy time. But when he hugged his Native American friend from Los Alamos, abruptly the world around him changed--again. Of Secrets and Spirits continues Nick's story, his search for answers, and his developing friendships. More secrets from 1944 surface. You'll meet a hippie physicist who will be key to unraveling part of the mystery of the Trick. And not just him--meet a teenage geologist with an aptitude for rocks, a family with "gifts," and a special sci-fi author. A well-meaning call for help with an unresolved fatal accident leads to a threat that risks exposing Nick and others. Will a scheme to hide in plain sight be enough to deflect the potential menace?
