(2) YA During Robert's routine endoscopy, a doctor finds metal filaments, pipes, and wires. Escaping the sinister men who order a doctor to "cut that thing open," Robert teams up with Eddi, a charismatic thief. The book operates at top speed, at once a conventional chase adventure, a psychological thriller, and a romance. Poetic descriptions of Robert's mysterious hardware are terrifying and beautiful.
