Let's be Frank - E-book - ePub

Frank, living in a condo above Earth, chokes on an ice cube and dies quite suddenly. Lillian, his wife, doesn't know what to do and contemplates sending him off toward Earth, hoping that he will burn up when he hits the atmosphere. Cond-Orbit, the controlling entity of the condo project, advises that his body must undergo an autopsy and that they will send a vehicle to pick him up within 24 hours.
Not wanting to be stuck inside with a dead man, Lillian tethers him outside their condo where he is instantly frozen. Being a donor, his body goes out for parts. His brain is digitally mapped, installed in an android and Frank is used in a terrorist plot that involves his own condo. Back down on Earth, Lillian becomes friends with Tess (from the novel, Sometime Tomorrow), and soon discovers that she must return to the condo to collect Frank's things before she can sell.
Kitch (from the novel, Sometime Tomorrow) decides that it is too dangerous for her to go alone and offers to help. They become hostages in the condo with Frank and his accomplice, Matti. This is a story of a man attempting to overcome the stigma of being conscious, but not alive in the human sense, unable to eat, drink and be merry. Frank soon discovers that he has other talents that carry him beyond the human experience.
This is the sequel to Sometime Tomorrow.
