Ill luck made Roger Torraway the subject of the Man Plus Programme, but it was deliberate biological engineering which turned him into a monster — a machine perfectly adapted to survive on Mars. For according to computer predictions, Mars is humankind’s only alternative to extinction. But beneath his monstrous exterior, Torraway still carries a man’s capacity for suffering.
I enjoyed this, got the ending come over me gradually which was an interesting feeling. I haven’t read much of his work, but this certainly holds a candle to other stuff of the period.
