A neurosurgeon attempts a brain transplant—with shocking results.

After successful clinical research, Dr. Garrett Fielding's nerve tissue growth accelerator N-CellGen receives critical acclaim. Still untested in humans, he wonders how well his discovery will work in the field of regenerative medicine. The potential for nerve and spinal cord injury treatment is far-reaching, but Fielding has even higher goals.

Is it legal? Is it ethical? How can Fielding find test subjects for a Body Trade?

Fielding is now the target of legal action, and his life is threatened by people who question his motives. And that's only the beginning of the doctor's dilemma. The anticipated financial benefit from N-CellGen catches the interest of a wealthy businessman who is motivated to create a real Body Trade...
