Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
This novel was written to bring to the attention of the readers the great loss of valuable organs that could save hundreds of thousands of lives. In the USA there is a backlog of 40,000 kidneys and over 300,000 livers. Patients waiting for heart transplants are dying everyday because good healthy organs are being destroyed by buriel and cremation. Organ transplants come from various donors, it's just that you don't know who, or what is donating them.

Rated by buyers -
This has to be one of the most RIDICULOUS books I have ever read.
The author certainly has NO literary sense, nor could he possibly have finished a college level writing course, as grammar, diction and flow of the story is terrible!
The author also has NO clue how organ donation works in the United States. He gives blatantly erroneous information, even for a book that is fiction. Additionally, he seems more interested in making this a "cops-and-robbers" type story than trying to bring attention to the shortage of transplantable organs in the US.
The back of the book states that the story is set in the early 1950's, but the use of computers, cellular phones and the Internet is sprinkled liberally through the story.
Finally, the author seems to forget what he has named his characters. Near the end of the "story", a female character is named Indira Jaipur on one page, and two pages later her name has changed to Indira Gandhi. It is insulting that the author has to state the characters very first and last names on every page, as if his readers would forget these completely forgettable characters!
I'm certainly glad that I bought this book at a very reduced price. It isn't worth the paper that it is written on!
One final word, CHAPTERS might have been marginally helpful, instead of one long, confusing and totally insane litany.
