"Headhunters of Nuamerica" by Stanton A. (Stanton Arthur) Coblentz is a science fiction story that plunges readers into a future where society has morphed into something truly strange. Three centuries beyond our time, Downey and Judith wake up after a bombing to find themselves in Nuamerica, a place where survival means understanding the weird rules of a world turned on its head. The story follows their struggle for identity, their run-ins with the unsettling custom of head transplantation – where old heads get new, young bodies – and their battles against the "Decapitation Draft". To avoid losing their own heads—literally—they navigate this twisted world, finding unexpected dangers, romance, and a chance to be heroes in a society that’s both funny and frightening.
