With a new television season looming on the horizon, one of the most anticipated shows to be watched this fall is ABC’s Flashforward, set to debut on September 24, 2009 at 8/7 Central.

For those that don’t already know the premise, I’ll try to distil it as best I can. One day a global event causes everyone on Earth to lose consciousness for 2 minutes and 17 seconds. During that time people see themselves six months in the future (if they’re not already sleeping or die during the vision). Flashforward centers around a group of individuals in modern-day Los Angelas as each come to terms with the aftermath.

The show is based off the 1999 novel of the same name by Toronto-author Robert J. Sawyer (who I’ve had the fortunate pleasure of meeting on several occasions, most recently at Worldcon in Montreal). And while it’s uncertain how well Americans knew Sawyer’s work prior to his book being made into a television series, his already stellar reputation shows no signs of slowing down anytime soon.

To coincide with the release of the show, Tor Books recently released new editions of the book with a new cover (incorporating the series logo) which is available in mass market paperback and trade papberback format (image right). Below is a sneak preview from the ABC pilot set to debut on September 24th.
