He is taken to a small facility outside of a town called Halden, in central Pennsylvania. He meets five other people who have signed similar contracts. He is told, in clinical language, what they are about to do. And then he and the other five descend into a chamber eighteen meters underground, where there is a hole in the air.Support the book while it's being written.
