Ira Levin

author
of Rosemary's Baby

Thirteen hundred Madison Avenue, an elegant 'sliver'
building, soars high and narrow over Manhattan's smart Upper East Side. Kay
Norris, a successful single woman, moves on to the twentieth floor of the
building, high on hopes of a fresh start and the glorious Indian summer
outside. But she doesn't know that someone is listening to her. Someone is
watching
her.

is the ultimate

horror
novel, a fiendish goodbye-wave to trendy urban living ... Ira Levin has created

Ira Levin

Chip is a good, obedient citizen of the brave new
world. A world where sex is programmed and regular treatments keep people
docile. A world where everyone is scheduled to die at the age of sixty-two, for
efficiency.

But Chip encounters a group of subversives who tempt
him with ideas of freedom, original thought and love. The dilemma that ensues
is both horrific and irresistible.

Like Dr Frankenstein, brilliant scientist Joe
Messenger will stop at nothing in his quest for immortality.

Through a combination of artificial intelligence and
the freezing of bodies, Joe hopes to be able to defeat death itself. When he
meets and falls for Juliet Spring, a gifted young researcher who claims to have
stumbled on a way to transfer human consciousness into a computer, he believes
the final breakthrough is near.

'Easily James's best book to date; a thought-provoking
menacer
that's completely technological and
genuinely frightening about the power of future communications' - Christopher
