The Limbic Highway

"The entrance into Purgatory is composed of hundreds of massive Golden Arches, which look opaque, but as they go past the Arches, he sees inner gyrating spectacular golden mechanisms, which produce the false solid appearance."

A young man finds himself at the center of the battle between good and evil in Philip McInerney's riveting new novel, "The Limbic Highway."

After a tragic incident at a party while home from college, student Jake Martee finds himself on the edge of death for the second time in his short life.

While unconscious, Jake journeys to purgatory itself, learning of the intricate system its residents have put in place to assist humans on Earth.

This includes the four tiers of purgatory, as well as the presence of guardian angels, with whom each person is connected by a limbic highway-a fragile connection that works to protect humans from evil.

Upon waking, Jake is stunned to realize that he is still able to maintain his tenuous relationship with purgatory. The residents there are thrilled that they finally have an insider on Earth to help them promote good in the world.

But life's inevitable challenges and temptations soon put Jake's limbic connection at risk...
