Review of 'The Golden Man' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

'The Golden Man' (1954) is about this future society where mutants are hiding and are being hunted by a government agency either to neuter them or outright kill them. This government agency one day finds a mutant that is very different from all the others they've caught.

3/5 stars. Great pacing, opening scene, action scenes, but descriptions of women are kind of skeevy. Reads like an episode of the TV series 'Legion.'
