New special edition with a new afterword by the author of this shocking dystopian novel.

Marcos is in the business of slaughtering humans - only no one calls them that. He works with numbers, consignments, processing. One day, he's given a specimen of the finest quality.

And soon, he becomes tortured by what has been lost - and what might still be saved...
