"When Wyndham Smith is transported to the 45th century, he finds himself fighting a sterile dystopia in which machines have created a sterile womb for mankind, without pain or suffering. Humanity is on the verge of deliberate racial suicide, but Wyndham and Vinetta escape the doomed city, fleeing to Sicily. There they must fight a Man Killer robot that has been programmed to eliminate the last hope of mankind. Can the two lovers defeat this implacable metal monster?"

"In 1941 H. J. Ward prepared a portfolio of prospective illustrations to show to art editors in a concerted effort to find work in advertising and slick magazines.
"Ward was inducted into the Army on April 13, 1944. He was recorded at induction to be tall, thin, with dark hair, and a heavy smoker.
"Soon after enlistment, Ward began to experience problems with his shoulder. Medical examination determined that he had a cancerous tumor in his lung.
"Hugh Joseph Ward died at age 35 on February 7, 1945."
