interesting idea, with truly implausible (if phun) action... ( )

I enjoyed this book right up to the end, or lack thereof. ( )

Awesome!! I had a blast reading this, and was trapped along for the ride from the first page. This vision of the world in the future is kind of cool but kind of frightening as well. So far, Konrath has never let me down on a fantastic read. ( )

This is a very entertaining book, with some excellent ideas in terms of futuristic technologies. The idea of being able to record past events is fantastic, and it is the basis of the plot. Our hero (Talon) is one of the few officers who knows how to operate a device that records the past. This device is mostly used to solve crimes. But leaving in a society with no crimes is also challenging and Talon soon finds out that it can disturb the minds of people. He investigates a crime that just happen to figure out that he was the murderer... and now his mission is to figure out who is trying to frame him.
I bought this book at Amazon.com in its electronic version. Very entertaining story, it took me about 11 hours to read the whole book. I recommend this book to the permanent library of any reader who loves science fiction. You will not be disappointed at all. ( )

It was a good story, when you got past the usual soap box about DRM and the juvenile Heinleinian attitude toward sex. Konrath can certainly spin a tale, I just prefer he keep the sermonizing out of it. ( )

Book description
Chicago, 2064: Talon Avalon is a timecaster-one of a select few peace officers who can operate a TEV, the Tachyon Emission Visualizer, which records events (most specifically, crimes) that have already happened. With crime at an all-time low, Talon has little to do except give lectures to school kids and obsess on his wife's profession as a licensed sex partner. Until one of her clients asks Talon to investigate a possible murder. When Talon uses the TEV to view the crime, the identity of the killer is unmistakable-it's him, Talon Avalon.
