Drunkard's WalkHe had every reason to live. He was a successful and popular professor on a college campus when college (augmented by TV) was the only hope of the struggling millions who hoped to rise above the subsistence existence of the masses in the overpopulated world of 2200. He had just married a wonderful woman. But he kept trying to kill himself. He isn’t depressed, and doctors are no help. It’s almost as if someone wants him dead and can somehow make him attempt suicide. But the reality is that his unknown enemy doesn’t just want an apparently harmless math professor to die. They want millions to die. . . . |
