Description

Roger Torraway's life took an ill-fated turn when he became the subject of the Man Plus Programme. Deliberate biological engineering transformed him into a being perfectly adapted to survive on Mars, a planet deemed humankind's only alternative to extinction. Beneath his monstrous exterior, Torraway retains a human capacity for suffering, a poignant reminder that even in the most unlikely of circumstances, humanity can endure. This thought-provoking novel explores what it means to be alive and the consequences of playing god with human life. A gripping science fiction tale, Man Plus raises important questions about the ethics of scientific experimentation and the true cost of survival.
