FOUR PEOPLE IN CONTEMPORARY CHICAGOO ARE CAUGHT UP IN A SEARCH FOR THE LOST TREASURE OF BENJAMIN FREE. |
| 四位房客在當代芝加哥,無端捲入尋找班傑明・弗里的失落寶藏。
「弗里之家免費住」報紙廣告如此刊載,於是乎失業的私家偵探吉姆.史塔布、神祕學者瑟潘蒂娜夫人、推銷員奧齊.巴恩斯,以及肥胖妓女坎蒂.嘉絲,四人齊聚弗里老屋,盤算在此免費借住一段時日,老屋則因高速公路重劃,房子預定不久拆除。 屋主弗里不時丟出一些耐人尋味的暗示,提到自己遭放逐、無法回鄉的原因,以及那把能讓他返鄉的失落之鑰。因此,當拆除正式動工、而弗里亦告失蹤。四人約定繼續追尋弗里的下落,而這段尋人之旅,最終將引領眾人展開一場超乎他們狂野想像的奇異旅程。 此為作者筆下以人物為主驅動劇情發展、極富深度的科幻小說,甫出版即獲《芝加哥太陽時報》盛讚,譽之為「科幻界正統小說家」。 Free Live Free," said the newspaper ad, and the out-of-work detective Jim Stubb, the occultist Madame Serpentina, the salesman Ozzie Barnes, and the overweight prostitute Candy Garth are brought together to live for a time in Free's old house, a house scheduled for demolition to make way for a highway. Free drops mysterious hints of his exile from his homeland, and of the lost key to his return. And so when demolition occurs and Free disappears, the four make a pact to continue the search, which ultimately takes them far beyond their wildest dreams. This is character-driven science fiction at its best by a writer whom, at the time of its first publication, the Chicago Sun-Times called "science fiction's best genuine novelist. |
