Logan's Run |
Logan’s Run is a
short, fast paced and action packed read. William Nolan and George Johnson have
created a future world in which overpopulation requires that people must submit
to voluntary euthanasia by the time their palm crystal starts to turn black, at
the age of 21, those that do not are known as 'runners'. Our protagonist Logan is
a 'Sandman' seeking to find a gathering of runners to kill them and destroy
their sanctuary; however after meeting and falling in love with one of the
runners – Jessica, he becomes one himself. Literally a flight and fight scenario
as Jessica and Logan seek to evade the system.
After the film release, Nolan
wrote two sequels Logan’s World and Logan’s Search, as well as a novelette, Logan’s Return, however most critics recommend stopping after the
original book - Logan’s Run.
A film starring Farah Fawcett was released in 1976, which
used basic ideas from the book but did not follow the plot carefully. A rumored
remake has stalled since 2004.
Logan’s Run was also made into a TV serial.Download your copy of the e-book from Marrickville Library today.
