WHAT WOULD YOU CHOOSE?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMy job, when you think about it, isn't so different from a lot of people's.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe more old-fashioned crowd do still get hung up on the 'killing people' part of it, I guess, but that's a them problem: it's been perfectly legal to take out lifers for ages. Besides, once ultrawealthy morons realised they had a way to live forever - limited resources be damned - there was only ever going to be one genuinely practical deterrent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSo, sure, I have to deal with a tonne of boring planning. Inconvenient hours. Some pretty awkward face-to-face interactions. And like most of us, I'm really only clocking in to try and crawl out from beneath my debts. But someone's got to do it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLuckily, my genetic compatibilities make me really, really good at doing it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStill. This next job . . . I don't know. It's something I haven't had to deal with in years. Kind of the opposite of my regular duties. Strange, that it got thrown my way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI'm sure it'll all go totally fine though.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"James Islington","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47615152160946,"sku":"9781399641876","price":405.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0562\/9191\/8002\/files\/9781399641876.jpg?v=1783685006","url":"https:\/\/www.wordsworth.co.za\/products\/scion-trade-paperback","provider":"Wordsworth Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
