We do have some copies (very few) of Flashback by Dan Simmons. Sorry to those of you who have had to wait so long for this title but the author was ill and his tour postponed for a while. But it is always worth waiting for Simmons who sets this novel in a dystopian future when the policies of the United States have caused nearly total economic , political and moral collapse. Not that the general population cares - they’re addicted to flashback, a drug that allows users to re-experience the best moments of their lives. One of those addicts, Nick Bottom a former detective, is asked by a top governmental adviser to investigate the five-year-old murder of his son. This is a provocative novel from one of the most imaginative writers at work today. $27.99
