In a not-so-distant future, a highly contagious virus has
struck the world. Many contract the
disease but are perfectly fine when they recover, although a few die. Others, however, are changed. Some people, suffering from what is called
Haden’s syndrome, are locked inside themselves, fully aware of everything
around them but unable to react to the world.
An even smaller amount, called Integrators, are changed in such a way
that they can let the people who are locked in borrow their bodies for a time
period. Usually, these people use a sort
of android type machine called a threep to interact with the world as others
do. The main character, Chris Shane, is
one of these. He is a rookie with the
FBI, partnered with a former Integrator, Leslie Vann. The two of them are immediately sucked into a
Haden related murder case that is clearly much more complicated than it seems
at first. With the possible future of
Haden society resting in the balance, Shane and Vann must work quickly to
uncover the truths surrounding the murder and solve their case. A really good science fiction story, that
isn’t too heavy on the science aspect. A
fascinating premise and a well-told story, this book will appeal to a lot of
readers.
