He was the most dangerous fugitive alive, but he didn't exist!

Nickie Haflinger had lived a score of lifetimes... but technically he didn't exist. He was a fugitive from Tarnover, the high-powered government think tank that had educated him. First he had broken his identity code - then he escaped.

Now he had to find a way to restore sanity and personal freedom to the computerized masses and to save a world tottering on the brink of disaster.

He didn't care how he did it... but the government did. That's when his Tarnover teachers got him back in their labs... and Nickie Haflinger was set up for a whole new education!
