Rufus of Rhodes

About the Book

Dr. Aaron Glatzer, skilled in the process of hypnotic regression therapy, brings forward the reincarnated life of a young Roman military physician, Rufus of Rhodes. The hypnotic subject, Edgar Wedge, a 20th century tire salesman, is suffering from compulsive eating and smoking which are now greatly overshadowed by a career- threatening fear of flying. Rufus, through Edgar, relates a story of his own life intertwined with the exploits of Julius Caesar and the political and military objectives of the pre-Christian Roman Empire. Rufus’ revelations change the lives of Edgar, his family, and the researchers engaged in bringing this voice of the past to the present century.
