The entire scientific world mourned the loss of Professor Dowell. it was said that just before his death he was on the verge of a breakthrough in the transplantation of human organs.
Marie Laurent felt privileged to work for the professor's brilliant associate, Professor Kern. But her feelings turned to shock and revulsion when she entered Kern's laboratory and discovered-sitting on a table, surrounded by tubes and tanks, its eyes blinking and lips moving -Professor Dowell's head.'
Thus begins a classic tale of horror and suspense by Alexander Belyaev, the best-selling Soviet science fiction author of all time, whose work is considered by many readers the equal of Wells' and Verne's.
Long a favorite of science fiction enthusiasts in Russia, Belyaev has been less well known in this country. That situation is bound to change now that an authentic Belyaev masterwork is available to English-speaking readers.
