About the Book
The Garrisen twins, Gregory and Glenn, are driving north on California highway 99. A massive wheel flies off a southbound truck, careens across the meridian, and crashes into the driver's side window, crushing Glenn's skull. The car goes into a spin, throwing Gregory onto the highway. He is struck repeatedly by many cars.
The twins are flown by helicopter to the Sandentell Trauma Center, on the outskirts of Visalia. Glenn is brain dead and Gregory has massive internal injuries. His death is imminent.
Three doctors at the center, who have been experimenting with "whole-body" transplantation on animals for twenty years, view the arrival of the two young men as providen-tial, offering them the opportunity to advance scientific research to the next plateau, human "whole-body" transplantation.
The twin's parents and Gregory's wife, grasping at straws, agree to the unprecedented surgery in the hope that one of the young men will continue with his life.
The surgery is a success. Gregory's head and brain function, with his persona intact, on Glenn's body. Then, "trait transfer" sets in. Gregory begins to sense that his twin brother's characteristics are affecting his own behavior. He struggles against his brother's intrusion. An internal, emo-tional tug of war develops. It escalates to a level that shocks the brain and progresses to a state resembling a frontal lobotomy. Gregory's brain is stripped of his memory, his intellect, his faculties, motor skills, and the capacity of speech. He regresses to the level of a newborn child, the third twin.
The book traces the progression of the infant/man, (Tpito), from a crawling, mewling, frightened baby to husband, father of twins and featured speaker in Oslo, Sweden during the presentation of the Nobel Prize to the three doctors of the Sandentell Trauma Center.
