Review:
This study of the human psyche has an incredible amount of power which when combined with the study of relationships and exploration of that final frontier - the inevitable truth that is death - creates a unique and breathtaking novel that simply has no equal, a true classic in every sense.

Its secrets could never be learned until investigators had found a way of avoiding those fatal false moves within its structure. Barker, unafraid of death, seemed the ideal man to find out. For a technique had been discovered whereby, each time he died, he could be revived and made to press on deeper into the mystery. And his preoccupation with suicide was matched by that of his project director - an obsession with scientifically controlled murder:- Review(s): "A Masterpiece" - James Blish:- (original cost £0.90).
