Synopsis: "Death to the scientists!" The cry for blood vengeance went up all over the world. Too long had the people been ruled by the power of science. Now they would have their freedom, even if it meant plunging into a new age of barbarism... even if it meant destroying every man who threatened their ignorance with his knowledge. John Wilson was a scientist, a great one. Only yesterday he had been famous, admired, secure. Now he was a hated enemy of society, a man on the run in a primitive murderous world. And his brilliant intellect was at once his inescapable mark of fatal guilt and his one slim desperate chance for survival... (from the first page of the Dell Books first edition)
