Synopsis

Al Morris is a private investigator. Actually, he's lots of private investigators. For he lives in a world in which every person, every day, can be in any number of places at the same time. It's the world of dittos. It is our world. Welcome to the future. In a business where information is the currency, Al's dittos are loaded. And with a number of cases on the go at once, it is crucial that Al keeps track of what's going on. What he doesn't know is that he is about to be drawn into a plot that could throw this delicately balanced world into chaos. It seems that the technology has been developed for dittos to replicate themselves. It seems that real people may no longer be necessary. And, suddenly, it seems that mankind's dream of immortality could turn into a nightmare. Look out for more information about this book and others at www.orbitbooks.co.uk

Media Reviews
A splendidly imaginative romp . endless cliffhanger thrills . a torrent of great ideas . a delightfully fun read' DREAMWATCH 'The reader can just sit back and enjoy . the twists just keep coming .All in all KIL'N PEOPLE can hold its head high' STARBURST 'This is not just a can't-wait-for-time-to-read-it book, but is clearly in the much higher category of don't-dare-interrupt-my-reading . Underneath the frenetic story of our hero trying in multiple forms to save the world, are some very real questions about the nature of identity, selfhood and the soul.' NEWBOOKS.MAG The Uplift series: 'Brin writes space opera with rare panache ... multi-layered, tightly plotted and excellently written' - SFX *
