The Gemini Man
|
| | | | When the US government wanted the perfect human weapon to bring the Soviet Union to its knees, Brian Newman was an obvious choice. They transformed him into a commando so cunning that, left on his own in a remote Russian province, he devastated Russian industry in a hellish nuclear catastrophe. Now the Americans have him back after six years of isolation and torture in a frozen Russian gulag. Can Newman safely go free? Or has his ordeal stripped him of any last remnants of humanity? A psychiatrist believes she has discovered an incredible clue to the Newman enigma, but before she can convince her colleagues, Newman escapes and people start turning up dead. Annotation: Brian Newman is a renegade Army enlistee whose brash nonconformity makes him the perfect choice for a covert operation geared to overthrow the Soviet Union. Left on his own in rural Russia, Newman is captured and tortured at the hands of the Russians for six years. Now the Americans have him back, but not for long. A psychiatrist sent to evaluate Newman theorizes the worst: Newman has evolved into the Nietzschian superman. And now he's on the loose.
| PraiseKirkus "Unlike Mary Shelley (or Bernard Shaw), Steinberg doesn't engage in his '?bermensch' at the richest levels, but as a melodrama this is neatly done, offering a consistently gripping narrative." 02/15/1998 |
