The Nebula Award–winning author of The Forever War explores a world
where time is money—and for some, both are running out . . .
The Stileman Process is a medical miracle: Every ten years or so, you
can restore youth and health to your aging, ailing body—as long as
you can pay the enormous fee. The scientific advancement has altered
the twenty-first-century world even more than space travel. Dallas
Barr is one of the oldest men on Earth, and now he needs to repeat the
procedure. But while scrambling desperately for his next essential
million, he meets Maria, a woman from a previous life—and makes two
chilling discoveries: Not all Stileman “immortals” were created
the same. And their days may be more numbered than they think . . .
From the author of The Hemingway Hoax and Camouflage, and the
recipient of multiple science fiction honors including the Hugo, John
W. Campbell, and Robert A. Heinlein Awards, Buying Time is “a
mystery/SF hybrid that exhibits the author at his most inventive.
. . . The action is fast and furious” (Publishers Weekly).
