THE REPOSSESSION MAMBO is set in a near future when people live virtually forever, rarely dying of disease or old age. There's big money to be made in the 'artiforg' business-the buying and selling of artificial organs that promise to prolong life. Companies are only too happy to extend credit to anyone with the proper financial means. But buyer beware- if you fall too far behind in your payments, your artiforgs will be repossessed.
Like many former US soldiers, Remy makes his living reclaiming organs from debtors who can no longer afford them. He's one of the best, and business is good until Remy finds himself being hunted by the same people he once worked with, and quickly running out of places to hide.
Now he's holed up in a deserted building, writing his life story on a beat-up typewriter in the hopes of getting it all down on paper before the Bio-Repo Man shows up to collect on his debts. And what a story it is . . .
THE REPOSSESSION MAMBO is a fast-paced, funny and intelligent triller that is also a meditation on our future, our use of technology and society's ills.
