A Glimpse of Eternity is edgy, jungle-dank backpacker fiction infused with philosophy, ecstasy, and a dark sense of humour. Nick is a twenty-seven-year-old high school teacher who has lost his way. Anxious, depressed, and frustrated, he travels to South America in search of his life's purpose and hopefully, through the use of powerful psychedelic plants, a mystical experience. At an ayahuasca centre deep in the Peruvian Amazon, confronted with the raw, overwhelming power of "the medicine", Nick must learn to traverse the dangerous path on which he finds himself, or risk toppling over into insanity and despair. This is a raw and unflinching novel about a young man's search for a meaningful existence - a joyful, ecstatic journey of transcendence, tempered by the darkness and gut-wrenching horror of the path he must walk to get there
