Summary

'"Please try to stay still, Private Klein," said the magister as his assistant held the tin appendage to the stump of Simeon's left arm.

Simeon forced himself not to shift and look down as the metal warmed against his skin. Instead, he looked up at the ceiling of the No 1 Procedure Room of Queen Mary's Hospital, Roehampton, and considered the weight of the tin fingers resting on his belly.'
