Moderate cover, corner wear. Pages good, no writing, some tanning. DAW Science Fiction Books No. 12. Classic mystical cover painting of unclothed man wielding giant sword against incoming missiles atop mountain peak on red sky b.g. The gene-tamperers produced two supermen - one a defiant mentalist, the other a defiant... god? Superman - or supermonster? Although he was the first successful product of the Artificial Creation government lab, Simeon Kelly would work only under compuslion. And the compulsion the generals forced on him to probe the mind of the thing called "Child" was greatest. Because Child was anything but the greatest. In this incredibly monstrous infant appeared to be the potential for oceans of inventions and an entire cosmos of total creativity. But Child was vicious, insane, and short-lived. Simeon Kelly probes this ultimate gene construct named Child to discover the ultimate mystery of creation itself. 124 pages. Insured post.. Signed by Author(s). First Edition. Paperback. Very Good.
