William F. Nolan is beroemd als coauteur van de sciencefictionroman Logan's Run, een werk dat aanzienlijke culturele impact heeft gehad door film- en televisieadaptaties. Zijn productieve output van korte verhalen heeft hem een plaats opgeleverd in talrijke bloemlezingen en leerboeken, wat zijn brede bereik binnen het genre onderstreept. Nolan's verhalen duiken regelmatig in de donkerdere aspecten van de menselijke natuur en maatschappelijke structuren, vaak gesitueerd in futuristische, maar verontrustend plausibele omgevingen. Zijn schrijven wordt gekenmerkt door scherp psychologisch inzicht in de personages en meeslepende plots die de lezer onderdompelen in diepgaande verkenningen van de menselijke psyche en ethische dilemma's.

A republishing of the tale in which, "in 2116, it is against the law to live beyond the age of twenty-one. When the crystal flower in the palm of your hand turns from red to black, you have reached your Lastday and you must report to a Sleepshop for processing. But the human will to survive is strong--stronger than any mere law"--Page 4 of cover
Logan's world. . . With the computer system destroyed, Earth has reverted to savagery. Scattered tribes now rule a charred world. Scavengers, who prowl the broken cities. Surviving corps of the elite killers, led by a psychotic ex-Sandman. Sadistic bands of gypsy riders who kill and plunder. When tragedy strikes, his loved ones, Logan sets out on a death-haunted vengeance trail across a ravaged world that leads to a startling confrontation and ultimate destruction.
The story continues Logan's journey in Sanctuary, revealing it to be far from the idealized existence he expected. He seizes the opportunity to embark on a perilous mission to dismantle Hourglass, the facility that regulates lifespans through implanted devices. Now under the control of the formidable Gant, a former Sandman, Logan faces new challenges in this epic adventure that expands on the classic narrative created by William F. Nolan and George Clayton Johnson.
