Publisher’s description
Logan is dismissed from the army for wounding someone there at shooting range. His drinking has led his hands to shake. He drinks at a bar called the Prophecy, passing the nights away, and at night he has the same dreams as always. They're filled with pain, spikes, bones, and blood. He has to get away from this place. Meanwhile, a man known as the Professer employs a disgraced doctor named Abraham Cornelius and a former NASA clerk called Carol Hines. They join Expierement X, and they set up their equipment prior to the arrival of their subject. Logan has had enough and wants to get away from it all. He decides on the Klondike and, after tying up a few loose ends, he sets off in his Lotus Seven sports car. On the way there, he stops at a bar where he is watched, unseen, by agents from Expierement X
