Overview

Thanks to the technological miracle of artiforgs, now you can live virtually forever. Nearly indestructible artificial organs, these wonders of metal and plastic are far more reliable and efficient than the cancer-prone lungs and fallible kidneys you were born with—and the Credit Union will be delighted to work out an equitable payment plan. But, of course, if you fall delinquent, one of their dedicated professionals will be dispatched to track you down and take their product back.

This is the story of the making—and unmaking—of the best Bio-Repo Man in the extraction business, who finds his soul when he loses his heart . . . and then he has to run.

From Barnes & Noble

Set just 20 years in the future, this eerie sci-fi thriller takes you into the lives of two disturbed war veterans who return from Africa, hoping to resume their lives. At best, they achieve their goal only partially, gaining jobs as "bio-repo men," agents who hunt down and repossess artificial body organs when their owners fall behind on payment. Soon their new livelihood places them both in a painful paradox: One of them has fallen hopelessly in arrears on his own artificial heart, and the other, his best friend, receives the assignment to confiscate his buddy's ticker.
