Down on his luck Michael Fox is a guilt ridden, shell of man living on the streets of Buffalo. Tired of his pathetic and drunken existence, he decides to end it all by throwing himself in front of a train that runs very close to the homeless encampment where he and some of his buddies live. As fate would have it, on the day of the deed, a limo appears and the man inside coxes Mike off the tracks and inside the car, where he is immediately made an offer he finds almost impossible to turn down: $2,000,000.00 for his right arm. Wanting to give his one surviving child a chance for a brighter future and imagining the life that kind of money can buy, he reluctantly accepts the offer and soon finds himself, along with three other homeless men, inside a massive medical compound where a brilliant but sadistic neurosurgeon carries on the most bizarre and heinous medical procedures in the field of nerve and tissue regeneration. One of the best horror novels I have read in ages.
