Fools (Gateway Essentials)

Warning: Personalities for Sale.

All the World's a role.

In a world of brainsuckers and bodysnatchers, you can't take anything for granted. Not even your own identity.

When Marva, a struggling Method actress, wakes up in a hologram pool in an exclusive priv club with fancy new clothes and plenty of money, she knows something is strange. When a memory of a murder starts tugging at her, she knows something is very strange, and that she'd better find out whose life she's living.

Fast.

Pursued by assassins from a mysterious Escort Service and renegade mind-pirates of every description, Marva must venture into the seamy Downs to find out who wrote the script of the most difficult role of her career.

Winner of the Arthur C. Clarke Award for best novel, 1995
