Synopsis




















 Hap Thompson - ex-criminal, ex-barman and ex-husband - has fallen on his feet at last.  After years of scuffling in the shadow of crime, he's finally found something he can do better than anyone else.  And it's legal.  Almost.

Hap's a REMtemp, working the night hours, having people's dreams for them.  For the first time in his life he's making bog money - and that should have been enough.  But then he's offered work caretaking memories instead of dreams.

This is not almost illegal - this is illegal in bold with a flashing light.

One night Hap takes on a bigger memory than usual and the client disappears. As Hap pursues her, he comes to realize that something terrible lies at the end of this memory, something which threatens to rewrite not just his life, but the whole of history.

Hap Thompson is the one man who can maybe bring it all together.  If he can just stay alive.
 

 

Review

 

Some books stretch the imagination. This one mugs it.

Looking Back
This view of the International Space Station over a blue and white Earth was taken shortly after the Space Shuttle Atlantis undocked from the orbital outpost on Sunday, Sept. 17, 2006. The unlinking completed six days of joint operations with the station crew. During the mission, the Atlantis crew installed a second pair of 240-foot solar wings, attached to a new 17.5-ton section of truss with batteries, electronics and a giant rotating joint. The new solar arrays eventually will double the station's onboard power.
