More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
A novella and other stories from the author of "Polar City Blues", "Time of War" and "Time of Exile". Tiffany can hardly remember how she died - only vague images of the crash that took her life. Now, in a rehab centre on the Californian coast, she tries to put together her shattered memory.
From the Back Cover
CRASHED, SHOT DOWN, BURNING, FAILED . . .
In a near-future, strangely altered world, Tiffany has been resurrected. Twice. Vaguely she can remember how she died, and her shattered mind and body are proof of the trauma she has suffered. Now in a rehab centre on the California coast, she tries to put together the fleeting memories of her previous life. A chance meeting with two unlikely messengers is about to provide Tiffany with the missing pieces she needs to complete the story of her 'life before death'. But it is a story that can have many possible endings. And in another world a mother is coming to terms with the loss of her daughter. A daughter who, unbeknown to her, may still be alive, somewhere…
'Freezeframes', Katharine Kerr's latest venture into the science fiction genre, brings together stories that are as fantastic as they are bizarre. Together they create a collection of Kerr's most deeply felt and richly imagined works to date.
"Powerful, entertaining and memorable"

Intresting, original, and very, very strange!
23 Jun 1999
Format:Paperback
This book is like no other book I have ever read. Its basically an account of all the strange things that happen to a family through out the successive generations. The book could be seen as a collection of successive inter-linked short stories. But the thing that makes this book so enjoyable is it's originality, it seems like in the world of Katherine Kerr anything goes! You are never sure where the story is going to go! Let me warn you this book is really bizarre. It features all sorts of characters from futuristic asylum seekers to the devil, and even has cameos from giant dragonflies! Ok, It's weird, It's crazy, It's such an amazing book I recommend it to all!
It works better as short stories
15 Nov 2001
Format:Hardcover
OK, I'm biased. One of the four stories that make up this book was previously published independently as "Resurrection" -- and I already owned that title when I bought "Freeze Frames".
I really feel this book would work better if it were openly billed as a group of short stories, rather than trying (ineffectively) to integrate them into a whole. I think part of the reason I disliked it so much is because it tried -- and failed -- to connect stories that should have been allowed to stand independently.
Misleading synopsis
14 Nov 2001
Format:Paperback
I owned "Resurection", which makes up one of the four stories here, when this book came out. The back page synposis was really misleading. I would have enjoyed it more had I never read it.
This works best simply as four independend short stories. Any "connection" implied in the synopsis is truly misleading, and you'll be disappointed if yo look for it.
