Review of 'The surrogates' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

A prequel to The Surrogates we find a young Harvey Greer about to become detective, while trying to solve the murder of a 'boner' (non-surrogate user) by three kids using their parents' surries. Much of the attraction of this comic comes from exploring the past history or origin of Greer and seeing his first reaction to surrogates and the way the world adapted to surrogates in the first place. More parenthetical in exploring the surrogate concept than the original, Flesh and Bone still provides some interesting speculative insights.
