Short description

In a future Los Angeles where organ theft is sanctioned and complete computer-human interfacing is all the rage, a woman suddenly let out of prison discovers that all of her friends and relatives are mysteriously dying around her. She finds herself on the run from Chinese Black Hearts, eager to confiscate her already levied organs, as well as the authorities.

Review by: Chris Marrs on Nov. 16, 2011 : star star star star
A fast paced and exciting sci-fi/thriller set in a believable, and disturbing, not-so-distant future. Great read.
