About this audiobook
The debut novel from highly regarded short-story author David Marusek, Counting Heads pushes the limits of the genre.

But when Sam Harger is flagged as a terrorist, his powerful wife dies in a plane crash, and his daughter's cryogenically frozen head becomes a sought-after prize, Sam must fight to save the human race from a secret cabal.
