Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"A Man Obsessed" by Alan Edward Nourse is a science fiction novel written in the mid-20th century. The story revolves around Jeffrey Meyer, a man consumed by a desire for revenge against Paul Conroe, whom he is determined to kill after a relentless five-year hunt. Set in a chaotic and surreal future world, the novel explores themes of obsession, the darker sides of humanity, and the implications of medical experimentation. The opening portion of the book introduces Jeffrey Meyer in a tension-filled scene as he prepares to confront Paul Conroe in a seedy tavern, which reflects the moral decay of society around him. Meyer is deeply absorbed in his mission and is willing to sacrifice anything to achieve his goal, even entering the twisted realm of human vivisection experiments. As he plans to execute his revenge, we see his inner turmoil and determination, made more complex by the presence of a mysterious girl, a potential pawn in his deadly game. The initial chapter sets the stage for an intense psychological thriller filled with suspense, questions of morality, and the pursuit of vengeance.
