Book excerpt: In the not distant future the world hasn't changed so much - men and women still fall in love, laugh, and sip wine - but some have changed, some will live forever as retreads, old souls implanted surgically in the empty bodies of the young. Voss Geraghty is a retread, a retiring government researcher who has been rewarded with a new body. What he wants out of his new life is fun, sex, and adventure, what he finds is disappointment. But there's a growing radical underground that sees the inequity in a society that allows the young to die so that the old may live on...
