  • ""The United States is near total collapse. But 87% of the population doesn't care: they're addicted to flashback, a drug that allows its users to re-experience 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's 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 a top governmental advisor's son. This flashback-addict becomes the one man who may be able to change the course of an entire nation turning away from the future to live in the past"--Cover."@en
  • "America, 2036. Powerful magnate Hiroshi Nakamura needs ex-cop Nick Bottom's services, and, in particular, his memories. As head of the original investigation into the murder of Nakamura's son, Bottom's flashbacks hold the key to solving what was the toughest case of his career. But as Nick delves deeper, the harder it becomes to trust those around him. And when he uncovers a connection to his wife's death, it is not only Hiroshi Nakamura who wants answers."
  • "Die Zukunft, wie sie sein könnte ... Die nahe Zukunft: Die USA stehen vor dem Kollaps, doch dem Grossteil der Bevölkerung ist das völlig egal, denn sie sind abhängig von einer Droge namens Flashback, die es den Konsumenten ermöglicht, die glücklichsten Augenblicke ihres Lebens immer und immer wieder zu erleben. Einer von ihnen ist Ex-Cop Nick Bottom, der seit dem tragischen Tod seiner Frau bei einem Autounfall nur noch in der Vergangenheit lebt und dank Flashback noch einmal die schönsten Momente mit seiner Frau verbringen kann. Doch dann wird der Sohn eines hohen Regierungsbeamten ermordet, und Nick beginnt eher widerwillig zu ermitteln. Bis er eine gigantische Verschwörung aufdeckt, die den desolaten Zustand der USA und ihrer Bewohner verursacht hat ... Dan Simmons wurde 1948 in Illinois geboren. Er schrieb bereits als Kind Erzählungen, die er seinen Mitschülern vorlas. Nach einigen Jahren als Englischlehrer machte er sich 1987 als freier Schriftsteller selbstständig. Zahlreiche seiner Romane - darunter 'Sommer der Nacht', 'Die Hyperion-Gesänge', 'Ilium' und 'Olympos' - wurden zu internationalen Bestsellern. Simmons lebt und arbeitet in Colorado, am Rande der Rocky Mountains."
  • "America, 2036. A wasteland in economic ruin. Terrorism and ultra-violence plague a once powerful society, whose people's only escape is to numb themselves on flashback - a euphoric yet crippingly addictive drug that allows its users to revisit happier, past experiences."
