Publisher Description
The bestselling dystopian novel that inspired the 1970s science-fiction classic starring Michael York, Jenny Agutter, and Richard Jordan.
In 2116, it is against the law to live beyond the age of twenty-one years. When the crystal flower in the palm of your hand turns from red to black, you have reached your Lastday and you must report to a Sleepshop for processing. But the human will to survive is strong—stronger than any mere law.
Logan 3 is a Sandman, an enforcer who hunts down those Runners who refuse to accept Deep Sleep. The day before Logan’s palmflower shifts to black, a Runner accidentally reveals that he was racing toward a goal: Sanctuary. With this information driving him forward, Logan 3 assumes the role of the hunted and becomes a Runner.
Customer Reviews
Even Worse Than The Film
Flat-out lousy as SF and flat-out lousy as literature. Perversely illogical and lazily written. Seems to be attempting to capture some of the newspeak hipness of New Wave SF, but devoid of any interesting ideas beyond it’s promising high concept central premise, which it spends the bulk of its few pages squandering. Not remotely surprising that it was adapted into a quite different, but equally moronic film.
