Full Cycle & It was the Day of the Robot (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781612870632)

Armchair Fiction presents extra large editions of classic science fiction double novels. The first novel, "Full Cycle" is about a strange new world of the future. Was Ambrose Wilson merely a ghost...an ancient relic of a new world that had passed him by? Was there no place in this neo-culture for a man who had made history his life? Surely, somewhere, there must be a link between yesterday and the tomorrow that had already arrived. However, it took great hardship and the worst kind of personal betrayal to help him realize mankind's new, untapped potential in this thought-provoking tale of the future, by one of science fiction's very best writers, Clifford D. Simak. The second novel, "It Was the Day of the Robot" is by another great sci-fi veteran, Frank Belknap Long. Biogenetic advances had made such progress that it was now possible to determine the exact genes and precise nature desirable in the human adult. For the first time in history an individual's instincts could be successfully controlled. Experience had shown that it was in Society's best interests to maintain, at all times, a perfect balance of the more desirable genetic types. But who got to make these determinations? John Tabor... marriage privilege denied. This is a science-fiction thriller about a machine that computed men's futures, and about one man who dared to tamper with the unacceptable results...
