In a world where death is a thing of the past, how far would you go to solve your own murder? NYPD detective Paul Donner and his wife Elise were killed in a hold-up gone wrong. Fifty years later, Donner is back: revived courtesy of the Shift. Supposedly the unintended side-effect of a botched biological terrorist attack and carried by a ubiquitous retrovirus, the Shift jump-starts dead DNA and throws the life cycle into reverse, so reborns like Donner must cope with the fact that they are not only slowly youthing toward a new childhood, but have become New York's most hated minority. With New York quarantined beneath a geodesic blister, government and basic services have been outsourced by a private security corporation named Surazal. Reborns and infected norms alike struggle in a counterclockwise world, where everybody gets younger, you can see Elvis every night at Radio City Music Hall, and nobody has any hope of ever seeing the outside world. Lost in a sea of nostalgia, NYC becomes an inwardly focused schizophrenic culture of alienation and loss. In this backwards-looking culture where only some of the dead have returned, Donner is haunted by revivers guilt, and becomes obsessed with finding out who killed him and his non-returning wife. Little does he know, strange forces have already begun tracking him. Donner isn't the only one obsessed with the past.

《墓城》。很明显看出作者 迈克尔·邓普西受黑色电影影响颇深,喜欢摩根的《副本》一点也不意外。主角光环满满,“复活”设定其实蛮并不特殊,不过逐渐变小有点意思。最大反派是个女人,很符合黑色电影蛇蝎女的设定,略带反乌托邦色彩。女机器人最有爱了。
评分充斥好莱坞的“帅哥美女揭开惊天大阴谋”的故事,缺少科幻小说本该有的对生命与“复活”的思考,而是不断抛出吸引眼球的肤浅元素并一味愤世嫉俗。唯一的亮点是这个复活的设定,以及还算有点小惊喜的阴谋设定。一篇只能在地铁上翻翻而过的快餐小说。

评分虽说是具备了各种黑色电影侦探小说的元素,能让我个地摊爱好者看到一半索然到直接翻结尾,这位作者叙事和塑造人物的水平真是不行。
