He scouts the latest in gene-edited talent for Big Pharma-owned baseball teams, but his own cybernetics are a decade out of date and twin sister loan sharks are banging down his door.

To keep himself together while the world is falling apart, he'll have to navigate a time where both body and soul are sold to the highest bidder.</p><p>Diamond-sharp and savagely wry, <i>The Body Scout</i> is a timely science fiction thriller debut set in an all-too-possible future.</p><p>"I devoured it." —Jonathan Lethem</p><p>"Completely weird and still completely real. Delightful—I couldn't put it down."—Shea Serrano</p></div>
