In a futuristic variation upon the modern detective story, we follow Hal as he returns from retirement, seeking the answer to the mysterious disappearance of his ex-girlfriend, last seen with a child prodigy and an unknown older man. We accompany him during his encounters with the jaded individuals who now occupy sullied Manhattan, and share his anguish at the gradual realization of the devastating effects that Virtual Reality is having upon his fellow citizens, rapidly losing their abilities to interact in the real world.
Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
"Very readable and the narrative is well constructed, and Brown successfully follows the Raymond Chandler maxim that the detective and the people he meets are ultimately more important than the case." - EDDIE ROBINSON SFX magazine "The mystery is is mysterious enough to keep our interest. If you've read the first two volumes, you'll want to read this one." - Jon Wallace Vector magazine
