Thalamus

In the near future, with the economy failing and hoards of people out of work, many have become tethered to their debt. ArenasCorp has come up with a solution that involves selling limbs for loads of money intended to get people out of financial trouble. The rich get healthy body parts and the poor are able to buy a little more time. When a celebrity reporter reveals the latest ArenasCorp breakthrough-a cure for cancer-he also announces to the nation that he's committing suicide for the program. His future reveals not the death that he expected but a situation that will make him wish he could take his own life. The latest novel from master thriller author Patrick E. Douglas takes the reader on a terrifying trip through a dystopian world where love, desperation, sacrifice and greed mix in an unbelievably believable tale.
