-Shea Serrano In the future you can have any body you want--as long as you can afford it.

He scouts the latest in gene-edited talent for Big Pharma-owned baseball teams, but his own cybernetics are a decade out of date and twin sister loan sharks are banging down his door.

Things couldnt get much worse.

Then his brother--Monsanto Mets slugger J.

Zunz--is murdered at home plate.

Determined to find the killer, Kobo plunges into a world of genetically modified CEOs, philosophical Neanderthals, and back-alley body modification, only to quickly find hes in a game far bigger and more corrupt than he imagined.

To keep himself together while the world is falling apart, hell have to navigate a time where both body and soul are sold to the highest bidder.

Diamond-sharp and savagely wry, The Body Scout is a timely science fiction thriller debut set in an all-too-possible future.
