Vicarious - by Ryan Parrott (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

LIVE (SOMEONE ELSE'S) LIFE TO THE FULLEST

Imagine a life of limitless opportunity: wealth and luxury, lust and desire, danger and excitement... and all it will cost is letting someone live it for you.

Welcome to the hidden world of Proxies-young, ambitious hustlers who have undergone an experimental new medical procedure that allows people the ability to vicariously experience their lives: to see, hear, smell, taste, and feel everything that they do. Selling this access to the rich, these Proxies are willing to give up their privacy, their very identity, trading it all for a taste of money and power.

In this seductive world of hedonistic pleasure, Justin Bright, a promising new Proxy with a mysterious past, will learn that all joys have their costs, and the dangerous games people play may have deadly consequences...

New York Times best-selling writer Ryan Parrott (The Infernals, Rogue Sun) debuts his first original comic, alongside acclaimed artist Eleonora Carlini (Marauders, Radiant Black), for a cutting-edge sci-fi thriller!
