To Live Again
Robert SilverbergAfter the death of his uncle, Mark knew he had the most desperate struggle of his career ahead of him—to prevent John Roditis from acquiring his uncle’s mind and soul through the expensive and elaborate Scheffing process. For it was an age when the mind and soul of a dead person could be transplanted into the body of a living person.
John was obsessed with the transplant, for with the mind of Paul Kaufmann there would be little that wouldn’t be within his grasp including social status—a standing that heretofore had been denied him. Mark was determined to stop him and no price was too high to pay. But neither man was prepared for the treacherous involvement of Mark’s mistress, Elena Volterra, and his daughter, Risa, in this merciless struggle for a man’s mind.
This is an unusual science fiction novel which thrusts the reader into a future as yet undreamed of within man’s capabilities this century. But even in that advanced super age the same forces drive men to the pinnacles of power, wealth, and destruction which motivate the financial geniuses of today.
