A great neurosurgeon from a distant future, Mark Voznesensky, is doomed to drag out his existence in a twenty-three-year-old body: that of intern Alexey Voronov. His hands, the instrument of a genius, are now alien to him—his left-handed body rebels against the commands of a right-hander, and every millimeter of movement is hard-won. But this is only a small part of the trouble. His own time, having taken aim at the fugitive, begins a ruthless hunt, using the most sophisticated tools: bureaucracy, lawsuits, and hired assassins.
