Ill luck made Roger Torraway the subject of the Man Plus Programme, but it was deliberate biological engineering which turned him into a monster -- a machine perfectly adapted to survive on Mars. For according to computer predictions, Mars is humankind's only alternative to extinction. But beneath his monstrous exterior, Torraway still carries a man's capacity for suffering.

Review of 'Man Plus' on 'Goodreads'

As much as I loved Gateway I just couldn't get into Man Plus. It is as well written but felt far too plodding for my tastes. Maybe because the subject has been done so much, it failed to overwhelm me here. Too much time is spent with trivial drama and not enough engaging with the cyborg. The twist at the end is great and worth reading the book for, however.
