Summary

Richard Garrison, a corporal in the British Military Police, loses his sight while trying to save the wife and child of millionaire industrialist Thomas Schroeder from a terrorist bomb. While Garrison is recovering from his injuries, Schroeder makes him an offer the young man cannot refuse - refuge at Schroeder's luxurious mountain retreat and rehabilitation from the best doctors who can treat Garrison's blindness and, if not cure him, at least teach him a new way of life.

But Thomas Schroeder has a secret. He is dying and determined not to lose his life. The doctors tell him his body cannot be saved. But about his mind? Garrison's healthy, young body would make an excellent replacement for Schroeder's failing corpus, if the machines to perform the operation can be perfected in time.

Garrison has no secrets of his own. Since the bombing that caused a loss of his sight, Garrison has become aware of new abilities slowly developing in his mind: mental powers he is beginning to master; strengths Schroeder cannot expect.

Richard Garrison and Thomas Schroeder, two strong-willed men locked in battle for the greatest prize - life itself.

Riveting

While I found the first three quarters of this book riveting, the last quarter seemed endless as the story didn't really move anywhere but just kept going in circles. The last bit did my head in to the point I'll have to leave the next installment for a while before continuing. That I'm going to continue is a testament to how interesting the first 3/4 of the story was.

Another Mind-Bending Classic from Lumley

I really enjoyed this audiobook. Lumley rarely disappoints as a writer and I was entertained throughout. It is very much in the same vein as Lumley's superb Necroscope series.
I enjoyed Gary Furlong's narration, though he does have a slightly odd rhythm to his delivery that takes a little while to get used to. He does a great job with the accents.
Another winner from Crossroad Press!
Highly recommended.

Pyschomech

I found the book to be misogynistic and the females characters greatly lacking. I wasn't a fan of the narration.

I was given this book for free of my own choosing and I voluntarily left this review.

Misogynistic claptrap

As a woman reading this novel I found the female characters to be utterly ridiculous and barely two dimensional. The main protagonists attitudes and character are totally unlikeable.

Award for most grating narration

Always was an excellent story and series. However, the narration here is so robotic as to make you want to scream! Monotone, brutally flat diction with flat-line inflection throughout. Siri would sound better than this most annoying of voices.
