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.

译文版《墓城》
评分《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。
评分墓城 2012.11
评分三百万病毒携带者与白发金瞳活死人共存于天罩锁闭的巨大隔离区纽约是为墓城。主角活脱再生侠附身马修侦探、邓普西乃科幻狂暴版的钱德勒。演员/编剧邓普西的一次好莱坞对抗——当然用的是地摊形式。亡者复生、人工智能、病毒肆意、阴谋论、未来跨国公司极权体制、这个男人来自地球。最激动人心莫过于,历史名人纷纷复活,各路致敬乘以百倍可以再来一锅大杂烩!
