Review
"Characters; the beautiful, eroded city; and a vividly imagined society make this compelling reading." --"Booklist"
"[Dedman] explores the illusory borders of gender and race in this fast-paced SF adventure." --"Library Journal"
"The story concept itself will hook readers in. Dedman works out a satisfying ending without making his protagonist overly heroic or pushing a false-toned happily-ever-after." --"Publishers Weekly"

Product Description
When Mike Galloway, a regular sort of guy for San Francisco, 2014, descends into the nightmare world of poverty and joblessness, he finds he must face more than starvation and homelessness. He's now at the mercy of a deadly world of political intrigue...from the future. He awakens to find his mind has been slipped into the body of a homeless woman, his body taken over by a man from the future, and nothing can ever be the same.
Now, to survive, he must combat neo-Nazi forces from the future who are desperate to mold the world to fit their own twisted vision. Galloway might not have thought the world perfect as it was, but these men will stop at nothing to make it a living hell for everyone but their chosen few.

Format:Hardcover
This very oddball story manages to balance the story of a timetravelling conspiracy with the story of a man forced to swap genders.
Mike Galloway helps a young woman he finds on his balcony, apparently homeless and alone he tries to help her he awakes the next morning in her body.
As he struggles to come to terms with this he (or now she) uncovers a sinister plott from timetravelling villains.
The gender changing is thought provoking and the plot, well the plot isn't bad. Worth a read.

Solid but confusing
5 April 2000
Format:Hardcover
This books switches between characters and characters switch between bodies so often that it is often hard to keep up with who is where. The premise of the book is quite good though so it is worth the read. The ending will catch the reader by suprise and is definitely worth the wait. Be prepared to be confused on which body the main character inhabits.
