REALITY-TV PUR Das interaktive Fernsehen hat seinen Höhepunkt erreicht: eine stehende Verbindung zum Hauptdarsteller einer Lieblingsserie ist möglich geworden. Millionen können sein Schicksal rund um die Uhr mit ihm teilen, seine Gefühle »live« miterleben, mit ihm leiden und lachen und glücklich sein. Und der Deal mit dem Publikum bringt den Darstellern ein Vermögen ein. Doch Sandy Figueroa aus der beliebten Figueroa-Familie hat das Geschäft gründlich satt. Im Gegensatz zu seiner Schwester, die sogar ihr ungeborenes Baby im Mutterleib schon für Reality-TV präperieren läßt, möchte er aus dem Medienrummel aussteigen. Doch das ist für einen »Verdrahteten« nicht einfach, vor allem, wenn aus dem Reality-TV durch verrückte Anhänger einer blutrunstigen Sekte schaurige Realität wird. Eine brillante, bissige Satire über die Macht und die Idiotie der Medien und die Sensationsgier eines sattsam verblödeten Publikums. Heyne Science Fiction Deutsche Erstausgabe

From the moment he saw the girl in the snowstorm, Flynn had less than an hour to live. But he’ll remember his last fifty minutes long after he’s dead. As an investigator for Suffolk County Child Protective Services, Flynn has seen more than his share of misery, but nothing could prepare him for the nightmare inside the Shepards’ million-dollar Long Island home. In less than an hour, that nightmare will send him plunging into a frozen harbor—and awaken him to a reality even more terrifying.They’ve nicknamed Flynn “The Miracle Man” because few have ever been resuscitated after being dead so long. But a determined homicide detective and a beautiful, inquisitive reporter have questions about what really happened at the Shepard house—and why the people around Flynn are suddenly being murdered. Flynn has questions of his own, especially when one of the victims dies while handing him a note: This is all your fault Flynn has returned from The Midnight Road—and someone wants to send him back.
