The House Of The Scorpion

Summary: This work of science fiction takes place in a world where the wealthy are able to have clones of themselves made so that their organs can be harvested.

The story traces Matt’s gradual realization that something about his society is not quite right and his journey to free himself from the bondage into which he was born.
