Tom and Jean Smith are two retirees who are about to go on a two week cruise of a life-time. However, they kind of want to rekindle their love life and so Jean suggests they go to Body Rentals and rent a couple of neat and sleek younger bodies to take on the cruise for a bit of fun! It takes a bit of talking Tom into, but he warms to the idea, and without telling their friends or family of their plans, they go to the place and spend the money on renting out two younger bodies.
However, on their return home, Tom and Jean find out that their lives and identities have been stolen! Their house has been sold, their bank accounts drained and the people who have been loaned their bodies have taken off! Then, they run into their daughter, Kimberley, who doesn't recognise them; and they really wish they had told somebody about their plans of going to Body Rentals. After chatting to her outside their soon-to-be-sold house, she gives in and goes and talks to the people she thinks is her parents while her younger-looking folks find themselves a hotel for the night.
The next day, Kimberley returns to the hotel they are staying at and promises to help them. She talks to a few of her friends and, before they know it, they are told some cold hard truths about Body Rentals they don't want to know... such as: they have only 4 months to find their original body before they expire. But first, they must find the original owner of the body they're in first; yep, the person they're in was stolen in the first place! But will Tom and Jean Smith catch up with the mastermind of Body Rentals before it too late and save their marriage as well?
What takes place over the next twenty chapters of this short book is a non-stop adventure of two people who trusted a company which took and took without thinking twice about who they were harming. I loved this book and over the last two days couldn't put it down! Mark Gardner is a writer who lives in Northern Arizona with his wife, kids and pair of spoiled dogs. You can find this book on Amazon and other good e-book stores for around $3.00. Until my next post, happy reading!
