The Girl from Bodies, Inc.

Randall Garrett

Novels, Science-Fiction & Fantasy

At forty-seven, Hugh Horner feels time like a weight on his chest. His body is failing, his ambitions unfulfilled, and the future looks like a slow decline toward irrelevance. Then he discovers Bodies, Inc., a shadowy organization that offers something extraordinary: a chance to start over in a younger body. The procedure is simple, the promise seductive. But when Horner wakes up in the body of Lionel Overman, a young convict, he realizes too late that youth comes with its own baggage. Now trapped in a life he never chose, hunted by forces he doesn't understand, Horner must confront an unbearable question: if you lose your body, have you lost yourself? This is science fiction at its most unnerving, a meditation on identity disguised as a body-swap thriller.
