Synopsis
Critically acclaimed hard SF author Greg Bear shifts genre somewhat with this terrifying supernatural thriller. Peter Russell's career as a director of soft-core films has been wrecked by the easy availability of hard-core porn. Personally, he's in terrible shape, too: he's never recovered from his young daughter's murder two years ago and his best friend has just suffered a sudden, fatal heart attack The seeming salvation of Peter's professional life, an offer to work with a company manufacturing the "trans," a cell phone-type device with absolutely perfect reception, has a horrifying effect on his--and everyone else's--personal life when Peter realizes that the trans has the ability to contact the dead as well as the living.

Industry Reviews
"Genuinely scary...and as well written as we have come to expect from Greg Bear."
Science Fiction Chronicle - Don D'Ammassa (06/01/2004)
"Bear's ability to incorporate scientific concepts into tightly woven, fast-paced story lines reaches menacing new proportions."
Publishers Weekly (04/26/2004)
