Customer Reviews

Excellent book-drive read or lazy afternoon

Simple enough premise about an everyman, abducted by a human-appearing agent and trained to utilize his mind to its fullest. The alien-turned-handler finds the tables turned on him as he realizes he has created an intellect and power superior to his own mind and technology. I first read this book when I was 15 and for years found it not even listed in Laumer's biblio. I would recommend locating this book for any Laumer fan due to its rarity, and definitely loan it to any avid sci-fi middle schooler.

Superman doesn't stand a chance..

This book is an easy read and slightly entertaining. Summary: A man is kidnaped by an alien and trained mentaly and phsycially to become superhuman. Some of his talents include matter transmission, matter conversion, levation and telepathy. These are just a few of his talents and once gained he must use them to solve a mystery for all mankind.
