Description

[Machine Translation] Lucas Martino, a brilliant American physicist, was critically injured in a massive explosion during an experiment on the top-secret K88 project he had designed. Because the laboratory where the accident occurred was located near the border between the Allied and Soviet Socialist blocs, Martino was quickly rushed to the scene and admitted to a Soviet hospital. Three months later, after diplomatic negotiations, Martino was released. However, when Martino emerges from the gate at the border checkpoint, he is a strange-looking man wearing an egg-shaped metal mask and most of his body is made of machines! Is he the real Martino or someone else? If he is the real Martino, has he been brainwashed? Sean Rogers, the security chief of the Central European Border Region who witnessed the liberation, attempts to identify the man in various ways, but is unsuccessful at every turn. He then sends Martino back to New York City, where he attempts to uncover his true identity by letting him swim and tracking his movements.... The entire film is full of tension and develops with a unique lyricism, making this one of the best full-length science fiction spy thrillers by the master of science fiction, Budrys.

誰? / 原タイトル:Who? (奇想天外の本棚) / アルジス・バドリス/著 柿沼瑛子/訳

アメリカの天才物理学者ルーカス・マルティーノは、自らが立案した極秘のK88計画の実験中に大爆発に巻き込まれ瀕死の重傷を負った。事故の起きた研究所が、連合国支配圏とソビエト社会主義国支配圏の境界近くにあったため、マルティーノはいちはやく現場に駆けつけたソビエト側の病院に収容されてしまう。そして3か月後、外交交渉の末、マルティーノは解放されることになる。だが国境線の検問所のゲートから現れたのは、卵型の金属の仮面をつけ、体のほとんどが機械で出来た、変わり果てた姿のマルティーノであった!果たして彼は本物のマルティーノなのか、それとも別人なのか、本物であれば洗脳されているのではないのか、解放したソビエトの意図とは?解放に立ち会った中央ヨーロッパ国境地区の保安責任者ショーン・ロジャーズは、様々な方法でこの人物の正体をつきとめようと試みるもののことごとく失敗に終わる。その後、新たにマルティーノの追跡調査担当者に任命されたロジャーズは、マルティーノをニューヨークに送り届け、彼を泳がせ、その行動を追跡することで正体に迫ろうとするが...。全編に緊張感をみなぎらせ、独特の抒情を漂わせつつ展開する、SF界の巨匠バドリスの代表的長編SFスパイ・スリラー。
