Trailer for The Punch Escrow, a new hard science fiction book by Tal M. Klein

Its summer in New York, 2471. Teleportation is the elite mode of transportation. Air pollution isnt a problem anymore. Advanced nanotechnology has made everlasting life possible. Artificially intelligent things make daily chores a cinch. And yet for some reason, everybody seems to want Joel Byram dead. Trouble is, Joel doesnt seem to want to die. Disavowed and hunted, he must reluctantly contend with the laws of both man and science to survive. Armed only with his wits and an encyclopedic knowledge of trivia, Joel isnt giving up on reclaiming his life (and his wife). Dont blame the mosquitoes though, theyre only helping.
