Gary Drake returns.
“After his death, Gary Drake’s life became more interesting.”
It would, wouldn’t it?
Drake’s still in prison, his family’s still dead, he still has AIDS, and he’s still one of the good guys. Well, more or less.
He’s also lost all memory of everything that’s happened to him since 1989, and he’s become a human guinea pig.
An ancient Chinese curse is “May you live in interesting times.”
The question is, how long will Gary Drake live this time?
Excerpt
After his death, Gary Drake’s life became more interesting.
When Drake opened his eyes, he saw that he was in a dingy beige room, its ugliness made worse by the choice of lighting. Everything appeared out of focus, including the white-clad person who stood before him. Drake felt more than saw his own flimsy gown. His bare legs and bottom rested on stiff sheets, beneath which were a hard thin mattress.
“Smells like a hospital. I take it you’re my doctor.”
The doctor tried to smile. It was a wasted gesture, which was fortunate because he failed miserably.
“Yes, I’m Doctor Nichols.”
“What’s wrong with my eyes?”
“That should clear up in a few minutes.”
“Is that why I’m here?”
“Part of the reason, yes. You took a quite a blow to the head.”
Drake paused a moment to digest the information.
“Is my name Gary Drake?”
“Yes, it is.”
“I’m a policeman in Durham , North Carolina
“Um, yes...”
“Doc, I don’t have to see your face to know there’s something you’re not telling me.”
