Produktbeschreibung

The Government decided that Christopher Jay was an enemy of the people. In fact, he was an enemy of the Government, and that meant he had to die.
So Jay became a casualty of the New Capital Punishment Act, and was duly executed on a series of trumped-up charges of treason.
But this was also the age of the Blind Scientist, the Transplanter, the Organ Switchers and the breeders of babies in bottles. And once Jay's organs had been harvested, they found some very interesting places to resume life.
They also enabled Jay to fulfil his final wishthat if he was to die, then the entire planet was going to die with him.
This was the time of reckoning.
This was the Year Dot.

Autorenporträt

John Richard Newton Chance was born in Streatham Hill, London, in 1911, the son of Dick Chance, a managing editor at the Amalgamated Press. He studied to become a civil engineer, and then took up quantity surveying, but gave it up at 21 to become a full-time writer. He wrote for his father's titles, including "Dane, the Dog Detective" for Illustrated Chips, and a number of stories for the Sexton Blake Library and The Thriller Library. He went on to write over 150 science fiction, mystery and children's books and numerous short stories under various names, including John Lymington, John Drummond, David C. Newton, Jonathan Chance and Desmond Reid. Including 20+ SF potboilers, adding that he "made a steady income by delivering thrillers to Robert Hale (the UK publisher) at a chapter a week". His novel Night of the Big Heat was adapted to television in 1960 and to film, starring Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing, in 1967.
