The Spawn of the Death Machine
Ted White, 1968, Paperback Library, 175 pages, mass market paperback.
Good condition, pages clean, tanned with age, binding tight, cover shows minimal shelf wear, small tear on bottom left corner near binding.
"You are an artificially constructed human being, a mobile data-gathering device."
That is what the computer's metallic voice tells Tanner when it releases him from his cell. Naked, unarmed, with no memory to guide him, he emerges into a savage world, into the ruins of Manhattan in the twenty-third century where wild animals roam and men have become cannibals in a frantic struggle to survive. Who has unleashed this chaos upon the world? Has Tanner really been dispatched to gather facts to help save the tragic remnants of humanity? Or is he to be the final instrument of destruction?
