Rating: - One of the best novels of the 20th Century...

The above line is not just hyperbole! Often overlooked in favour of his more famous works such as "Bladerunner" or "Man in The High Castle", "Flow My Tears...." is, in my opinion Dick's finest novel. It has all the usual reality twists you expect with Dick, but is also one of the truest and most honest explorations of Love you will ever see, whether it be filial, sexual or metaphysical. A truly brilliant novel.

Rating: - Awake in a world where you never existed

This is what happens to TV star Jason Tavernor, hero of this highly original and inventive novel. Worse still, the world in which he wakes is a US totalitarian society where not existing can prove very dangerous. Tavernor has to find not only a safe place in this world, but what has happened to the world he's left behind. En-route he meets a startling bunch of typically wild Dickian characters, most of them women, and there is the crux of the novel, for at heart, beneath the sci-fi veneer, it is a study of love. An essential read for all Dick fans, but also a novel that may tempt readers into Dick's world.
