    About this ebook

    In this fascinating story the 83 year old author found himself in Heaven talking to his deceased parents immediately after his heart stopped and his head was severed while in the hospital O. R.
    He meets and talks with his grandparents and a god that none of us know, but is well known and loved by people in the hereafter.
    Meanwhile on Earth, the authors head is linked to the body of Mr. X, an older man with the same blood type who is brain dead.
    At the last minute, thinking he faced arrest by the county coroner, the lead surgeon in this delightful book is told of a new body with a hopeless head injury but right blood type having just arrived at the hospital.
    Surgeons undertake the transplant and 17 hours later a new author, far different from anyone else on Earth, or in Heaven, with his own head but a new body, awakes in the O. R., in horror.
    This book puts new meaning into the word novel, far different from anything youve ever read, and so thought provoking youll never forget it.

Air Force, and since his retirement in 1990.  Mr. Herbert’s library of about 2900 books includes many novels and non-fictionalized accounts of America’s wars.  Following his tenure as a speech writer for the Commanding General of the Air Training Command in Illinois, Mr. Herbert flew in F94 all-weather jet night fighters (61st Fighter Squadron) as a Radar Intercept Officer during the Korean War.  Mr. Herbert has served the nation as an Air Force officer (1950 - 1954), his state (Ohio), as the Assistant Director of Commerce (1972 - 1974), his county (Summit), as one of three at-large County Commissioners (1967 - 1972), and his city (Akron), as one of three Councilmen-At-Large (1964 - 1966).   Mr. Herbert is the author of Notes on My Recent Abduction by A. Lincoln, (‘highly recommended’ by Lawrence Zeillinger in a review for Amazon.com.), The Man In The Diamond Suit, Inside the Titanic 2-1/2 Miles Under Water,  Two Thousand Eighty-Four (2084), An Unauthorized Sequel To George Orwell’s Polemic Masterpiece, 1984,and Japanese Capture, General MacArthur Escaping from Corregidor, March, 1942, (A Novella), and World’s First Successful Head Transplant [Thus We Have No Need To Die] (A Novella).
