Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. E. L. Wilk weaves a chilling, critically acclaimed thriller that blurs the line between medical science, morality, and the human soul. At its heart lies a question both intimate and universal: what does it truly mean to possess a body-and what happens when that body becomes a commodity. Body of Work is a haunting, fast-paced medical thriller that explores the razor's edge where innovation, exploitation, and humanity collide. At its center is Olivia, a devoted mother of twins and a woman whose sharp intelligence and compassion mask deep vulnerabilities. Her family's life on a quiet farm seems far removed from the corporate and clinical worlds of cutting-edge medicine. But when her path crosses with Haloderm-a powerful biomedical company promising to reshape the future of surgery, organ preservation, and long-distance space medicine-Olivia is drawn into a web that reaches far beyond her rural life. Haloderm presents itself as a force for good: developing robotic surgical suites that could save lives on Earth and beyond. Yet behind closed doors, it wages a battle against the "ghouls," profiteers who traffic in human skin and organs. The company's mission is shadowed by secrecy, ambition, and the ethical minefields of a medical industry where bodies are often treated as currency. As Olivia becomes entwined with Haloderm's work, the stakes turn deeply personal. Her roles as mother, wife, and survivor collide with forces that would claim her body, her choices, and even her family's future. On the farm, surrounded by the simple rhythms of rural life, she struggles to hold onto a sense of normalcy while navigating a reality where science and morality no longer align. At its heart, Body of Work is about not only the dangers of unchecked innovation but also resilience and love. It asks: What do we owe our families? How do we protect them when the body itself becomes a battlefield? And when corporations and traffickers alike see flesh as profit, who has the right to say what a life is worth? E. L. Wilk blends chilling real-world medical research with speculative possibility to deliver a story that is both intimate and universal. Body of Work is a meditation on motherhood, survival, and integrity in an age when every body has a price tag. Olivia's fight-set against the stark contrast of a family farm and the sterile world of biotechnology-becomes a testament to the endurance of love in the face of exploitation. Thrilling, poignant, and deeply human, Body of Work leaves readers questioning the future of medicine, the cost of progress, and the lengths we go to protect those we love.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. On the faraway planet Nifle, Spragley's father abandoned him when he was so young that he couldn't remember him. He often wondered if the ominous gloom that consumed him was the reason he never returned. Otherwise, his life is almost idyllic, until one day when a landslide leaves him wedged in rubble. Realizing that there's no escape, he pleads with his best friend to deceive his family and tell them he's gone for good. The father he never knew comes to his rescue, but fails to save him. Meanwhile, he reveals the reprehensible reasons for leaving his mother and tells Spragley about his unknown sister. Then he complains he can't stand by and watch his only son die, so he abandons him once again. Out of desperation, Spragley befriends a young stranger, a two-legged creature called a namisit. He learns his language and about the ways of his kind. Although Spragley despises all namisits because they're evil and cruel, he forms a strong bond with this one. Food and water become scarce, so Spragley's friend moves on, and this loss makes his life unbearable, but the solitude allows him to reflect. He regrets he ever lied to his family about his demise and realizes by not being there for them that he is no better a dad or husband than his father. He discovers the real meaning of truthfulness, forgiveness, and the importance of love. Spragley's father returns to warn him that every living thing around the namisits seems to die and never to trust one of them. Spragley has to make a hard choice: either do nothing and perish or follow his gut feeling that tells him to accept help from the namisits, but this could endanger the lives of all the dendrons in his valley.
