Summary

Summary

The United States is near total collapse. But 87 percent of the population doesn't care: they're addicted to flashback, a drug that allows its users to reexperience the best moments of their lives. After ex-detective Nick Bottom's wife died in a car accident, he went under the flash to be with her. He has lost his job, his teenage son, and his livelihood as a result.

Nick may be a lost soul, but he's still a good cop; so he is hired to investigate the murder of the son of a top governmental advisor. This flashback addict becomes the one man who may be able to change the course of an entire nation that is turning away from the future to live in the past.

Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“Abundantly entertaining…It can’t be denied that this novel’s arrival at a moment of near-total political breakdown in America adds to its relevance, whatever glories or disasters may ensue in the next two decades.” —Washington Post
“An intriguing spin on the detective story trope. Simmons is a consummate master of intriguing spins, shifting between time periods and situations more gracefully than a chameleon changes colors.” —Los Angeles Times
“Simmons is an excellent storyteller and a master at cinematic pacing.” —NPR
“Simmons makes some logical if depressing extrapolations from current political and economic developments in this outstanding mystery thriller set in a near-future dystopic United States…Simmons keeps the action moving briskly and smoothly.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review)
