[Back Cover] "In this world of tomorrow is neither hatred nor love. Normal human sentiment is punishable by death! Dreams of happiness, human warmth and joy have given way to indifference. Man has been programmed not to feel. It is a chilling world in which there is no feeling at all, save fear...fear of any human emotion! This is the world in which Frederick Dainig must live. He told himself he couldn't help it, but he knew better than to let himself care about the little child of whom he is the Keeper."
