E. van Vogt explores a future in which specially bred humans-immune to radiation and capable of surviving the deadliest environments-are created for a singular purpose: to serve and, if necessary, to be sacrificed. As civilization rebuilds amid the ruins of atomic devastation, these altered men exist at the margins of society, valued for their utility yet denied full humanity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eVan Vogt's narrative combines high-concept speculation with psychological tension, examining what happens when those designed to endure begin to question the terms of their existence.
