A daybreaker rebels on an overpopulated planet in this dystopian adventure by the author of the World of Tiers series.
Jeff Caird was once a daybreaker: a criminal who avoided government-required suspended animation by living seven different identities. Now he goes by the name William St.-George Duncan, and he's suppressed the memory of his past, and even his real identity, in order to avoid harsh punishment by the government of the Organic Commonwealth of Earth. But the danger is far from over, and the authorities continue to hunt him-because among the things he's forgotten there's something very important . . .
In the wilderness of northern New Jersey, Dunc has fallen in with a group of rebel daybreakers. As he struggles to retrieve the memory that's so valuable-and dangerous-to the government, he learns from his new allies that there's a larger movement to break free from the control of the corrupt World Council that limits citizens to one day of consciousness per week. And the knowledge buried deep within him may be the key to their success.
Hugo award-winning Science Fiction Grand Master Philip José Farmer returns to the Dayworld universe for the second installment of his richly imagined trilogy, in which Earth's overpopulation has led to the most stringent government restrictions on personal freedom imaginable.

Autoren-Porträt von Philip José Farmer
Philip José Farmer (1918-2009) was born in North Terre Haute, Indiana, and grew up in Peoria, Illinois. A voracious reader, Farmer decided in the fourth grade that he wanted to be a writer. For a number of years he worked as a technical writer to pay the bills, but science fiction allowed him to apply his knowledge and passion for history, anthropology, and the other sciences to works of mind-boggling originality and scope.His first published novella, "The Lovers" (1952), earned him the Hugo Award for best new author. He won a second Hugo and was nominated for the Nebula Award for the 1967 novella "Riders of the Purple Wage," a prophetic literary satire about a futuristic, cradle-to-grave welfare state. His best-known works include the Riverworld books, the World of Tiers series, the Dayworld Trilogy, and literary pastiches of such fictional pulp characters as Tarzan and Sherlock Holmes. He was one of the first writers to take these characters and their origin stories and mold them into wholly new works. His short fiction is also highly regarded.
In 2001, Farmer won the World Fantasy Award for Life Achievement and was named Grand Master by the Science Fiction & Fantasy Writers of America.

Pressezitat
“Another of Farmer’s striking variations on civilization and its discontents.” —Publishers WeeklyPraise for the Dayworld Trilogy
“A tightly plotted, often exciting yarn . . . Solid, assured . . . Absorbing.” —Kirkus Reviews on Dayworld
“Full of kaleidoscopic images and boasting a likeable, if schizophrenic, hero, Farmer’s latest novel, first in a new series, highlights the fertile imagination that garnered so many fans for his Riverworld series. Recommended.”—Library Journal on Dayworld
