Flow My Tears, the Policeman Said

From AudioFile The author salutes George Orwell and Franz Kafka with a frightening story set in the dystopian American ÒfutureÓ of 1988. The novel, written in 1974, follows television and pop star Jason Taverner on an odyssey into a nightmare world in which he apparently has never existed. The expert Scott Brick adds his particular narrative skill to the mix, making TavernerÕs plight believable and eerily real. Brick keeps the story afloat as it rushes through confusing waters. The listener knows no more than the storyÕs hero as he tries to salvage his identity amid a fascist regime in which NOBLESSE OBLIGE is a foreign concept to a self-indulgent ruling class. M.S. © AudioFile 2008, Portland, Maine-- Copyright © AudioFile, Portland, Maine Product Description The product of a secret government experiment in genetic enhancement, Jason Taverner is a pop idol beloved by millions--until one day, all records of his identity inexplicably disappear. Suddenly, no one seems to recognize him, and in a police state, having no proof of your existence is as good as a death sentence.
