- Summary
- Where Flynne and her brother Burton live, jobs outside the drug business are rare. Fortunately, Burton has veteran's benefits for neural damage he suffered from implants during his time in the USMC's elite Haptic Recon force. One night Burton has to go out, but there's a job he's supposed to do - a job Flynne didn't know he had. Beta-testing part of a new game, he tells her. He offers Flynne a good price to take over for him. What she sees though, isn't what Burton told her to expect. It might be a game. It might be murder

- Summary
- Whenever she can, gamer Flynne Fisher tries to help her brother Burton, a disabled veteran. So when Burton asks her to beta-test a virtual reality game as part of his lucrative but illegal part-time job, Flynne agrees to sub in. During her shift, Flynne witnesses a murder and soon realizes that she's not playing a game, she's seeing the future. But how? Cutting-edge technology and crossed time lines create an intricately plotted and thought-provoking science fiction story that slowly builds suspense through parallel, yet intersecting, narratives. -- Description by Gillian Speace
