Bock Gammon is a freedom runner. A man with a space dispatch for hire. He has heard of Replacements and understands they exist, but he hasn’t personally come across one. Actually, he finds the whole idea repugnant–growing a living being specifically for the purpose of harvesting his body parts. So do the governments in lots of from the galaxies who’ve declared Replacements illegal.

Which explains why he’s stunned to find his latest assignment is to create a Replacement to one from the wealthiest men in the Chatta Dul system. If he hadn’t therefore desperately needed the money, he wouldn’t possess accepted the job.

It generally does not take miss Bock to realize that Rhea 41070 is not only one-of-a-kind, she’s also unlike any female he has ever met. As well as the nearer they reach the point of delivery, the more he understands he can’t walk away and leave her behind to be dissected. In some way, he has to discover a way to save lots of her, despite the chances and a huge selection of well-armed men awaiting their return.
