Product Description
** Winner of the 2011 Red Adept Reviews Indie Award for Science Fiction **
It is 2023. Scientist David Proctor is running for his life. On his trail is Saskia Brandt, a detective with the European FIB. She has questions. Questions about a bomb that exploded back in 2003. But someone is hunting her too. The clues are in the shattered memories of her previous life.
Déjà Vu takes the reader on a startling journey through a possible future, though digital minds, and through the consequences of the choices we make. It is the debut novel by Ian Hocking.
'You've never read anything like Déjà Vu before.' -- SFX
'A crisply-written, fast-paced thriller that makes assured use of cutting-edge science fiction ideas.' -- Ken MacLeod.
'Very cool and stylish. A new voice in British SF.' -- Forbidden Planet International
'Handled with casual panache. It's gripping, fascinating, and powerful, and really well written, with wonderful pace.' -- Ian Watson, screenwriter 'Artificial Intelligence: AI'
'[Hocking's] layering of the narrative is thoughtful and the way he makes events from different decades mirror each other shows quiet skill. This is a small-press publication; as such, it probably won't get the exposure it deserves. Larger publishers may want to take note.' -- Jon Courtenay Grimwood, writing in The Guardian
