专题简介
It's the year 2157, and every pleasure that doesn't turn people into dutiful consumers has been classified as an addiction and outlawed. Jaden Emory's job is to find out people's hidden addictions—and root them out. But when rebellious raver Ally Fayre enters the picture, it's Jaden who becomes addicted...to her.

“Ally, don’t be ridiculous,” Jaden whispered. “And keep your voice down.” “I can’t go with you,” Ally repeated. “We’ll never be able to get out and even if we did, how could we survive in the free world, hunted like animals the rest of 【详细】

“Jaden, Jaden! Wake up!” Jaden pried his eyes open. An anxious Tail stared down at him, snake-spearing stake in hand. The sun hung low on the horizon. He’d been out cold on the ground for several critical hours. Grammy Snapple was nowhere to be seen 【详细】
As the sun blazed in the afternoon sky, Jaden swam through the hole in the force field encumbered by a substantial bag. This time he was carrying not only his wet suit lined with contraband for Gaspar but also two dozen sets of breathing gear and force fi 【详细】

Jaden ate lunch at a synthetic-food cafeteria just off the base. He punched in the specs for the Cuban food he wanted synthesized, then gorged himself on chicken and yellow rice, crusty Cuban bread, and savory black beans, washing it all down with three c 【详细】
“Ally! What are you doing here?” Jaden said, attempting to contain himself. After scouring the swamp for her he couldn’t believe she could just show up at the center. But something was wrong. The ebullient, glowing girl he had known on the outside h 【详细】

Jaden knew Squeeze would be mad at him for not bringing the packages to him immediately, but after what Squeeze had put him through, he didn’t care if the dealer had to wait or not. He had stored the packages in a locker in the parking garage. Jaden had 【详细】
The next morning Jaden tackled his workout with even less enthusiasm. To his surprise, he wasn’t the last one to show up on the course. Jaden was halfway through his first circuit when Reth ambled toward the field. He wasn’t alone, though. Kim dripped 【详细】

Jaden had resolved not to think about Kim as he putted the speedboat toward Key West with the sunset hanging off to his left, but the tedious aquatic journey gave him too much time to do just that. How had he misconstrued all the signals? He’d had no id 【详细】

Jaden felt a little better after a shower, but he was still a bit somnolent. Kim picked a Caribbean-themed beach bar that sat directly on the Atlantic, and they sat sipping drinks with umbrellas in them. “You’re quiet,” Kim said, coyly twisting a lo 【详细】
Taking Joy alone, Jaden still felt the tenderness of his love for Ally, but without the music and the people, the real world crept in too completely, and he couldn’t let himself go to just enjoy it. Dammit! He should have taken the glow-key from Squeeze 【详细】

The night sky lightened in preparation for a muggy dawn, and Squeeze’s purple derby created a domed profile as he paced on the dock, waiting for Jaden to tie up the boat. As anxious as Squeeze apparently was for the packages Jaden carried in his wet sui 【详细】
Lanna coughed and struggled, her face turning red. Gaspar kicked her feet out from under her and slid to the floor with a whomp, her throat bearing the weight of the rest of her body. Jaden didn’t know what to do. He couldn’t just stand by and watch G 【详细】

When the homing medallion indicated he had cleared the force field, Jaden swam another thirty feet along the bottom of the ocean, just to make sure, before beginning his ascent. He surfaced in a dark, unfamiliar world. Expecting the water to smell as 【详细】

As the nascent moon rose, Jaden’s speedboat coughed through the warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico. His wet suit already itched, and he wished he had waited until he arrived before putting it on and embedding the contraband in the liner. He just didn’t 【详细】
Jaden pointed the clunky Gull 200 toward Tamlando. With luck on his side for a change, he found the dealer he was seeking at his Ybor Mall food court haunt. Unfortunately Squeeze saw Jaden, too, and took off in the opposite direction. Jaden followed him 【详细】
Jaden fought to keep his emotions under control as he lay in bed, trying to lose himself in sleep. His upper bunk gave him a spectacular view of the barracks’ ceiling two feet from his nose. The space where a bottom bunk might have been had been replace 【详细】

The next morning, Jaden tried not to fidget as he and Reth waited in Truck’s sterile office for the sergeant to return. Didn’t look like he spent much time in it. Long-overdue paperwork overflowed a wire basket on his desk. The personal effects that d 【详细】
Jaden awoke in his bed back at the Splitter Complex, naked except for his underwear. Man, he hoped Truck had put him in bed and not Kim. He sat up gingerly. His shoulder ached and his knee throbbed, but he could use them both. He stood and found he could 【详细】
Jaden blanched. The soldiers parted and two austere men in expensive navy suits and mirror shades approached. “Jaden Emory?” “Yes?” Jaden squeaked. The man reported into the com link on his wrist. “Target acquired. Initiate clean-sweep sequence 【详细】

Jaden awoke to the coppery taste of blood and the noxious smell of smoke. The Phoenix 5000 was crumpled around him. He felt an acute pain in his right knee and saw a bit of blood seeping through his pants, but his wounds weren’t exigent. His immediate c 【详细】

Jaden returned home as he had planned, just before bed-check. Unfortunately, the late-night shopping spree hadn’t boosted his spirits. As he lay in bed, amorphous darkness all around him, his ghosts came to visit. Each time he closed his eyes Squeeze wa 【详细】

“I don’t want to go,” Jaden protested. “As your team leader and your friend, I’m telling you that you’ve got to have closure on your relationship with that girl,” Kim said. “But Fort Miami is so far away,” Jaden said. “And I’ve got p 【详细】

Jaden brooded in his room the entire day and into the evening. He didn’t even come out for dinner. Ally was eating away at his soul, bit by bit. He had to tell someone, but whom could he trust? Not Reth or any of the other splitters, and when he had the 【详细】
The smell of the pizza drew Baqer out of his lab like a mouse to cheese. “Pepperoni?” he asked, poking his head into Jaden’s room. Jaden shrugged. “Help yourself.” Baqer opened the pizza box. “How cute,” he said sarcastically. Jaden looked a 【详细】
Jaden crept back into the Splitter Center, hoping everyone was still asleep. In the one stroke of serendipity in the last twenty-four hours, they were. His hair had matted flat on one side and stuck out sideways on the other. His body smelled of stale bee 【详细】

“Ibiza,” Jaden said, holding the glowing pink rod in front of him and stepping into the wall of the tanker. The world shimmered and glitter rained down on him. “Welcome to Joy Island!” called a chorus of unseen voices. A boisterous girl with pink 【详细】

“If it feels so good, why don’t you stick it up your own—oof!” gasped Ally, as Jaden pinned her. The syringe glinted in the moonlight. Ally knocked it out of his hand and it flew just out of his reach. Ally tried to break loose, but Jaden subdued 【详细】

Jaden’s rendezvous hideout was an unobtrusive cabana-style house in Old Hyde Park. The neighborhood had once been a haven for pretentious Senior Management types like Ally’s parents, but they had all since moved to the corridor, preferring the longer 【详细】
By the end of the afternoon, Baqer had accomplished what no other splitter maintenance tech had ever attempted, much less achieved. Jaden left the lab with a small duffle bag full of equipment that would allow him to split Ally and anyone else he’d like 【详细】

The next morning, Jaden awoke before the rest of the department. He had to get a message to Ally, to let her know to persevere for just a little longer. The phone wasn’t any good—just about any message transmission could be bugged. He’d have to rely 【详细】
“Curfew!” Jaden hissed. They had talked too long. When The Corporation said “lights out” it meant “lights out.” No warning, nothing. The lights just went out. All over the Splitter Center. And with the power out, odds were that Baqer’s secur 【详细】

Blue mascara and eye shadow dripped down Ally’s face. Her whole body trembled with the force of her heaving frame. “Um, Ally? What are you doing here?” “You’ve got to help me.” Her voice quavered. “You’re my only hope. The treatments aren 【详细】

Jaden’s mirth after this bit of retribution was short-lived. By the end of his interminable day, he’d seen a total of four repeat addicts, a whopping half of the eight clients he treated that day. He knew he should feel better now that he knew nothing 【详细】

When Jaden returned to the Splitter Complex, his footsteps echoed in the commodious quarters. The half-dozen other splitters he lived with were seeing patients in their offices on the lower floors of the tower. Baqer, the tech, the closest thing Jaden had 【详细】
Jaden paled. Nobody had called him by his street alias in five years. A diminutive, balding man had his hand in Jaden’s. He shook it too long, and Jaden just wished the pervy interposer would give it back to him. Ally’s parents looked on with disdain. 【详细】

The Tamlando Detention Center swarmed with addicts and enforcement officers. Amid the bustle, Jaden spotted his fastidious team leader, Kim Li, talking to Ally’s parents. Jaden sometimes wondered what Kim, an imperious woman he’d never seen without th 【详细】
As teen cyberpsychic Jaden Emory entered the Tamlando Detention Center, he pulled his crocheted cap down over his dreadlocks so that it covered his gleaming cybernetic implants. A sea of police officers and addicts stood between him and the addiction cell 【详细】
