In an alternate present day where human body parts are commodities, survival depends on credit limits and current medicals. For Maltex Faloon, a disgraced pool champion, time has run out. His "welfare hands"-a cheap mismatch he was forced to take after a lost wager-are degenerating into gnarled, useless flesh. Unable to afford enough T-Butoxilina to dull the excruciating pain, or buy a new pair, Maltex is desperate. His life depends on the next case he takes as a donor fraud bounty hunter.
His latest assignment: track down a charismatic con man who has sold the same body parts-balls to eyeballs-to multiple pitiful buyers. Maltex is pulled into the brutal, underground economy and the orbit of Flexibee Bold, a stunning woman with a voice box ravaged by "Latent Degeneracy," who may be his only link to the fraudster. As the truth about the suspect-and Flexibee's own connection-unravels, Maltex finds himself with a decision to make.
Control Home is a dive into a chilling world where the cost of a new body is measured in betrayal, violence, and the loss of what makes you human. Maltex must confront a chance at a new beginning. In a city where everything is for sale, the ultimate question is: What would you sacrifice for a new set of hands?
