Nick Sagan is a graduate of UCLA Film School and has written for Hollywood, creating screenplays and television scripts. The son of Carl Sagan and Linda Salzman, he achieved his fifteen minutes of fame at the age of six when his greeting 'Hello from the children of Planet Earth,' was recorded and placed aboard NASA's Voyager 1 spacecraft, now the most distant human-made object in the universe. Nick Sagan is married and lives in Ithaca, New York. Idlewild is his first novel, his second, Edenborn, is now available from Bantam Press.
A teen named Halloween awakes from a nightmare convinced someone's out to kill him. Or was it only a virtual nightmare? For that matter, is HE real? In this dystopian future nothing is certain except that our hero is in mortal danger. He must save not only himself, but the entire human race. The lad himself tells the tale in this rousing sci-fi thriller, which is interrupted occasionally by virtual warnings from a cyborg voice (impersonated by Beth McDonald and aided by clever editing). As Halloween, Clayton Barclay Jones sounds appropriately young. Unfortunately, he also sounds inexperienced. After an energetic opening, he soon disengages from his text, which he merely recites with less technique than the material demands.
