It's 1944, and while notable scientists are working in Los Alamos on the Gadget, Nick Nishimura, PhD, and his colleagues are focused on the Trick. When he realized that his teleportation Trick kind of worked, jumping from New Mexico to Arizona but also from 1944 to 2008, he had a lot of questions. Soon he was not alone in his search for answers. Within a few months, Nick had found family, old friends, new friends, and a place to safely continue his research. Sharing Thanksgiving with them, all promised to be a happy time. But when he hugged his Native American friend from Los Alamos, abruptly the world around him changed--again. Of Secrets and Spirits continues Nick's story, his search for answers, and his developing friendships. More secrets from 1944 surface. You'll meet a hippie physicist who will be key to unraveling part of the mystery of the Trick. And not just him--meet a teenage geologist with an aptitude for rocks, a family with "e;gifts,"e; and a special sci-fi author. A well-meaning call for help with an unresolved fatal accident leads to a threat that risks exposing Nick and others. Will a scheme to hide in plain sight be enough to deflect the potential menace?

In 1943, a Japanese-American physicist is plucked from an internment camp to join a team of scientists at Los Alamos. Military intelligence needs his breakthrough work in transferring atoms. By September 1944, the war effort needs that breakthrough to work. As team leader, he volunteers to enter "e;the Trick."e; He steps into the chamber and steps out into the hot sun of Southern Arizona-in 2008! Who can he trust? Will he be pulled back across time and return?His luck begins when he meets a retired high school science teacher shortly after his arrival. Together they connect pieces of time to form the fabric of friends, relatives, and colleagues that he needs. He quickly discovers that much has changed in the years he didn't get to live, but science still holds many secrets.Nagging him are the last words he shared with one of his few friends at Los Alamos, a young Native American woman who worked in the Lodge. As he left to test his experiment, she smiled, squeezed his hand and said something about spirits. He wished he could recall what she had said. Can he find her as he looks for others from his past?
