My First Head Transplant: (How I Planned to Live Forever)
About this ebook
He meets and talks with his grandparents and a god that none of us know, but is well known and loved by people in the hereafter.
Meanwhile on Earth, the authors head is linked to the body of Mr. X, an older man with the same blood type who is brain dead.
At the last minute, thinking he faced arrest by the county coroner, the lead surgeon in this delightful book is told of a new body with a hopeless head injury but right blood type having just arrived at the hospital.
Surgeons undertake the transplant and 17 hours later a new author, far different from anyone else on Earth, or in Heaven, with his own head but a new body, awakes in the O. R., in horror.
This book puts new meaning into the word novel, far different from anything youve ever read, and so thought provoking youll never forget it.
