Paperback: 7" x 4¼". Condition: Fair: Heavier signs of wear. Cover Art: Bob Layzell (illustrator). 1977 Edition. © 1974: 1st in the 'Soul Of The Robot' series of books. 1st printing of 1977 edition (Orbit logo on cover & sign, though no mention on copyright page):- Synopsis: "We are your parents," the wife said in a hesitant, hopeful voice. "We made you. You are our son." Jasperodus, the hulking, bronze-black all-purpose robot they had created, laughed harshly and moved across the room to the door. Opening it, he walked out of their lives. Thus, within seconds of his creation, Jasperodus sets out to explore the world. There is much to explore in the bizarre future he inhabits, and his adventures lead him to become warrior, tyrant, renegade and statesman as he plots to overthrow King Zhorm, attempts to re-create the Old Empire and seizes the leadership of a robot revolution. But Jasperodus has more private battles to fight, more secret quests to pursue. No amount of power, glory, wealth and - yes, even women, can bring him the satisfaction of being a person. Robots have no soul, everyone knows that, but Jasperodus cannot accept it: either he is human at heart or there is a disastrous fault in his programming:- (original cost £0.70).
