About this ebook

With advanced biomedicine banned in the United States, rich and powerful Americans traveled to India to extend their lifespans and augment their bodies and minds.

So too did Americans who wanted their fair share. Middle-class, middle-aged Americans like Liam Kleinschmidt and his wife.

But traveling 14,000 miles to a tropical medical resort proved the easy part.

Wonder and dread combine in a near future tale of vast medical opportunities... and shadowy figures out to hoard those opportunities for themselves.

    Liam Kleinschmidt took his wife Courtney by the elbow. They shuffled forward in line with a dozen other American medical tourists. Like Liam and Courtney, most looked middle-aged, with paunches and wrinkles and a few gray hairs. The men wore polo shirts with golf logos or the names of the small businesses they owned. The women wore hats and blouses, capri pants and flat-soled shoes. Everyone — even the swarthy couple, South Asian or Hispanic? — had white dabs of sunscreen on their noses and ears.
