The young father is terminally ill and coming to grips with his fate. One day a friend from Toms past comes forward to recruit him for a privately funded, covert experiment. The goal of the experiment is to achieve immortality through the transfer of a living humans mind and memory to a highly realistic human android replica. In the early stages of the testing, he is told not to discuss it with anyone, including his wife and daughter.Toms physical appearance is immaculately duplicated as a technically sophisticated robot. To initially test this prototype, the scientists transfer the mind and memory of another mans brain. Since the digitization of the consciousness is an invasive process that kills the original source, the scientists first test the procedure on a more "expendable" subject - a convict without any family who is dying in prison and volunteers for a "cancer treatment." If this initial test is successful, they intend to wipe the replicas memory clean and permanently replace it with Toms mind and memory.While the test is successful, this alternate version of Tom escapes - killing a scientist and embarking on the ultimate form of identity theft. Impersonating Tom, the evil twin infiltrates his home, endangers his family and commits violent crimes in Toms persona, forcing the real Tom to go on the run.When Russian spies discover the technological breakthrough to turn man into machine, they seek to steal the secrets for their own nefarious purposes. The stakes are raised and reach the highest levels of government. The President of the United States starts acting peculiar and Tom suspects he has become the victim of a devious swap by the Russians that could change the course of the world. Its up to Tom to save the day...before the ticking clock of his own mortality runs out.FLAME TREE PRESS is the new fiction imprint of Flame Tree Publishing.
