Dreamer (1989)
The last night that Sam had the dream, she was seven years old; and that was the night her parents were to die.
Twenty five years later her childhood is but a bad memory. Now married to a wealthy Eurobond dealer, she has a child, two homes and a highly successful career. An enviable lifestyle. But for Sam it is becoming a nightmare. Because the childhood dreams are returning – and this time they are coming true…
Gradually and subtly, the dreams of the night foretell the disasters of the day – and no-one believes her, nothing can help her. As psychiatrists, clairvoyants and dream therapy fail her, she is left to confront the evil alone, without knowing its name: hallucination, premonition, reincarnation or psychic projection? Whatever it is, it won’t relinquish its hold. And then Sam starts dreaming her own death…
Twilight (1991)
Sally Donaldson is twenty-three years old and six months pregnant when her life suddenly ends. Her devastated husband, Kevin, is willing to grasp at any straw; when sounds are reported coming from the grave, he demands an exhumation. Reporter Kate Hemingway sneaks into the suburban graveyard to see the coffin opened. An American living in England, she is trying to get over a painful love affair – and to break her way out of traffic death and human interest stories. What Kate sees is so horrific that she can’t – and won’t – forget it. Fighting off pressure from the medical establishment, she plunges into the middle of a sinister and macabre cover-up. At its center is a respected anesthetist with a dangerous and secret obsession with life after death.
Host (1993)
In his first techno-thriller, James tackles the issue of life after death, just as he did in his horror novels Twilight and Possession. This time, though, the author’s fervid imagination?which here mixes the cryonic preservation of human life, the downloading of human personalities into a computer and a Fatal Attraction-style love affair?creates only a muddle. Neuroscientist Joe Messenger, of England’s Isaac Newton University, has inherited his father’s belief in, and passion for, cryonic preservation; he has also constructed a computer dubbed ARCHIVE, designed to eventually store the contents of an adult human brain. This goal seems far beyond reach until Joe meets the seductive Juliet Spring, who shows him how it can be done. But Juliet has an ulterior motive, she has six months to live, and wants her own personality digitized before she dies. When she does die, and ARCHIVE takes on her chillingly psychotic characteristics, the reader will be miles ahead of most of the characters in figuring out what’s going on. The only real surprise involves the cryonics subplot, which is a needless complication, giving the impression that this novel consists of two books forced between the same covers. In addition, by pacing revelations slowly to accommodate his well-drawn but amazingly obtuse characters, James risks losing readers’ interest. Despite an intriguing premise and some genuine scares, this is yet another novel in which less would have been more.
