The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August (Laline Paull)

This is a unique twist on a time-travel story. Harry is one of a small number of people who, for unknown reasons, live their lives over and over. Each time they die, they are born again at the same moment, in the same circumstances, to the same people, and live  through the same world again and again. What is the best way to deal with this strange situation? These folks have banded together into a society devoted to finding the newly born infants, seeing that they are shepherded into life with comfort and security, and living however they choose until their unavoidable death and cycling back yet again. By and large they try to avoid making a large impact on the unfolding of grand events in the world; past experience has shown that pushing too hard against the fabric of history has terrible ramifications. But now, someone seems to be doing just that, and the world is coming to an end. Can Harry and his friends find who is doing this and stop them? The action spirals up to a grisly, frantic, intense pitch, as Harry works against powerful hidden forces over and over again. I followed it breathlessly to the end. Recommended.
