A cynical lawyer suffering from multiple sclerosis, a young woman trying to escape the tragedies of her past, and a charming con man searching for easy money find their lives–past and present–inextricably linked through a radical medical procedure known as Previous Life Access Surgery. Set in a grim future marked by virulent genetic plagues, repressive protective legislation, and a dearth of hope, the latest novel by the author of An Alien Light (LJ 12/87) offers an imaginative, wholistic approach to the problems of a psychically and environmentally starving world. Highly recommended.
