Dialogues with the Dead

Ivan Petrovich's dull life as a translator is about to end. When his neighbor--elderly recluse and inventor Heinrich Von Slinstoch--dies of an apparent heart attack, Petrovich receives a phone call that the old man has named him in his will. Petrovich takes possession of The Entity Enhancer, a machine that enables the user to bring forth souls from the Afterlife and hold entire conversations with them.

Unable to tell anyone of the machine for fear that it will be confiscated by the authorities, Petrovich secretly sets out on the greatest adventure of his life, conducting face-to-face interviews with the most influential figures in the history of mankind. Over the course of a year, they recount their lives, their struggles, the secrets behind the "official version" of history, and reveal what life is like on "the other side."
