A Man Obsessed

Jeffrey Meyer had a killing on his mind. It meant nothing to him that his towering Twenty-first Century world was going mad. He shouldered aside the rising tide of narcotics-mania, the gambling fever, the insatiable lust for the irrational. Jeff had his own all-consuming obsession—Paul Conroe must die! After a five-year frenzied chase, Jeff had his victim cornered; he'd driven him into the last hideaway of the world's most desperate men—the sealed vaults of the human-vivisectionists. And Jeff knew that to reach his final horrible objective, he must offer himself also as a guinea pig for the secret experiments of the world's most feared physicians!

Alan E. Nourse (1928-1992) was an American science fiction author and physician. He wrote both juvenile and adult science fiction, as well as nonfiction works about medicine and science. His works generally focused on medicine and/or psionics. His most well-known work by title is THE BLADERUNNER, which lent its title to the film adaptation of Phillip K. Dick's work DO ANDROIDS DREAM OF ELECTRIC SHEEP? Robert A. Heinlein dedicated his 1964 novel FARNHAM'S FREEHOLD to Nourse.
