WARNING: Personalities for Sale

In a world of brainsuckers and bodysnatchers, you can't take anything for granted - not even your own identity.

A struggling Method actress, Marva, finds herself pursued by deadly assassins, a mysterious escort service and renegade mind-pirates of every description. It may or may not have something to do with a murder, tugging at the edges of her memory. Is this a wild case of identity confusion? And can Marva find out who wrote the script for the most difficult role of her career?

Quotes by Pat Cadigan

From Wikiquote
