Declan is a vigilante, at war with the drug gang who killed his only child in a drive by shooting. His final raid goes disastrously wrong, he is captured and injured as well. His arm is bandaged and he is given an MRI to make sure nothing else is wrong, before being turned over to the police. He closes his eyes.And wakes up with a different body on a spaceship hundreds of years in the future. It seems (unscientific but for a fun story suspend your disbelief) that his brain was scanned and recorded by the MRI, and somehow the records survived and were 'played' into a new body. They explain that his original body and brain went on to live a full life, using all their human rights, which he as a recording from the twenty first century doesn't have. They also explain other things, but the story doesn't quite fit together. Declan isn't the type to put up with this.Too short to be a novel, and too light to be profoundly meaningful, this is still a fun story I will read the next episode of sooner or later. Maybe it will leave me with more to think about if the next episode pulls together the loose ends in a surprising fashion.
