Synopsis

Joshua Mason is an everyday man cursed with immortality.

Joshua Mason has been alive for thousands of years. He doesn't know how or why it happened, only that he can die like any man, but will always return.

When you live forever, everything you love will die, so he decided long ago to not become attached. That all changed when he met Doreen. With her, he found something more than the woman he loves, after thousands of years of wandering, he found his place in the world. Now she's dying of old age. Distraught, Joshua promises to look after Charlie, Doreen's grandson, who is thirty-six, but forever a child due to a terrible brain injury.

Keeping Charlie safe means making money to keep Charlie's world—a crumbling motel in the middle of a barren desert—afloat. Mason makes this money by selling his life on the dark web to wealthy people who enjoy the ritual of murdering him.

And now, when Mason only wants to mourn the loss of his wife, he discovers he sold his life to some very dangerous people and that Charlie is not as innocent as he seems.

About John Nolte

John Nolte is a Midwesterner by birth, a Southerner by choice, and spent the first two decades of his working life as a bill collector. While barely scraping a living as a screenwriter in Hollywood, he met Andrew Breitbart, who hired him as the very first editor-in-chief of what is now Breitbart News, where Nolte still writes almost daily. Nolte is currently semi-retired in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina, with Julie, his wife of thirty-three years, his two dogs, and a Blu-ray collection that will never be large enough.

I'm a fan of John Nolte's writings on Breitbart and (perhaps even more so) his tweets, so I had high hopes for his first novel, Borrowed Time. Even still, I was impressed; Borrowed Time is a moving, fascinating, and human story about love and the many things that seem bigger but can never be as impo......more

Goodreads review by Drw on October 01, 2023

Intriguing: I've always found stories about "immortals" interesting ever since I saw the "Highlander" tv series/movies. And Joshua Mason is an interesting, moral immortal. One thing I wish was in the book was whether he was "born" immortal or if something happened that caused him to be immortal. Plus......more

This book was excellent, and well written. I enjoyed the writing and was easily kept captured in the story. Although tales of immortality are not completely original, this author did well creating a unique story with likable, unlikable, and complex characters. The main character Mason, displayed a m......more

I'm a fan of Noltes writing , but didn't like the stepson part of the novel. He dragged in parts when he was part of the story. I loved the last few chapters and how he wrapped it up......more
