A brilliant doctor gives up his status as a human
being when he becomes a Bergmann surgeon--healing fatal
sickness and wounds with psychic powers and mechanical
precision. Though a great healer, he is an outcast, and he hand
his kind wander from emergency to emergency, at the beck and
call of MedAm. When not working, he is drinking, lost in a fog,
trying to forget the things which he has lost. But when a dying
despot hijacks him, he is forced to face what his life has
become, and--with the help of a killer for hire--reclaim what
it means to be a healer.
