![]() ![]() And though the dupes in the replica city have no future once the Snapshot is turned off, that doesn’t mean that both Davis and Chaz will walk out of it alive tonight. ![]() They seem to be going through their day as usual when they stumble upon a mass murder. It reads like a creative writing class short story assignment: Here’s your angle, here’s your trope, and here’s your character flaw show me what you’ve got. Spolier Free Summary: Snapshot by Brandon Sanderson is a short story about two detectives, Davis and Chaz, who operate with limitless authority in a re-created snapshot of a past day. But the crimes the detectives are sent to investigate seem like drudgery-until they stumble upon the grisly results of a mass killing that the precinct headquarters orders them not to investigate. The same can be said for Snapshot, Sanderson’s latest novella, that was published early 2017 (but which I only just got my hands on). Flashing their badges will get them past any obstruction and overrule any civil right of the dupes around them. Within the re-created Snapshot of May 1st, Davis and Chaz are the ultimate authorities. Anthony Davis and his partner Chaz are the only real people in a city of 20 million, sent there by court order to find out what happened in the real world 10 days ago so that hidden evidence can be brought to light and located in the real city today. My edition contained only 'Snapshot' not Dreamer. I can see this one being made into a movie. Fun and fairly fast-paced, tho somewhat creepy. If you could re-create a day, what dark secrets would you uncover?įrom New York Times #1 bestselling author Brandon Sanderson comes a detective thriller in a police beat like no other. 'Snapshot' is a conceptually clever novella about two detectives who enter a constructed virtual past to find evidence for prosecuting criminals back in real life. ![]()
