The driver had seen her killed, shot down as she ran. Later he'd seen her alive and well. He knew he hadn't made a mistake. She was too famous for that ...

The kidnapped Nobel Prize-winning physicist had been found shot. Only his wife denied that the body was his. A second physicist died. This time it was the doctors who performed the autopsy who doubted his identity.

One thing the two men had in common. Work on the MIDAS project. But that had been discontinued years before. Fundamental flaws had shown up. Only at the lowest mechanical level was replication possible. Simple muscle power, mass-produced. All the grand plans for immortality through resurrection were abandoned.

But now the rumours of copies were surfacing, not in the brave new scientific world of space technology but in the squalid third world of poverty, repression and irrational beliefs.
