Shadrach in the Furnace
The stunning novel of a man surrounded by machines that flash instantaneous pictures of everything happening—a man surfeited with drugs that allow him to be eyewitness to the living past and pleasured by sensual women who vie for his favors—a man named Shadrach who finds little rest in his miracle-infested world. A supershocker about what happens when telemetric sensors no longer suffice, when the great Khan, ruler of the Earth, needs more—when he needs to survive through the body of a virile, healthy, very special man—through Shadrach Mordecai.
