Written at the dawn of the 1970s, this novel is the brilliantly shocking story of the ultimate transplant.Ībout a third of the way into this novel, I couldn't stop hearing this musical number from Flower Drum Song: Heinlein delivers a wild and intriguing classic of science fiction. He was now fused with the very vocal personality of his gorgeous, recently deceased secretary, Eunice-with mind-blowing results! Together they must learn to share control of her body. The operation was a great success-but the patient was no longer Johann Sebastian Bach Smith. His solution was to have surgeons transplant his brain into a new body. Though his mind was still keen, his body was worn out. Johann Sebastian Bach Smith was immensely rich-and very old. As startling and provocative as his famous Stranger in a Strange Land, here is Heinlein’s grand masterpiece about a man supremely talented, immensely old, and obscenely wealthy who discovers that money can buy everything.
