And now they’re starting to change into monsters! What is the secret behind the mysterious fog? Who is the stranger that shows up one morning, and where did she come from? The children are determined to uncover the truth, and their quest takes them to the forbidden lighthouse. Written by Keith Robinson.

July 10, 1929 – December 25, 2015

George Clayton Johnson passed away today at 12:46 PM PST. December 25, 2015. Christmas Day. Thanks to everyone for the prayers and support, George lived a good life and an interesting life! Condolences to his son Paul, daughter Judy – and his loving and devoted wife of 62 years, Lola. It is a great honor to represent George and his work. It is a higher honor to be called his friend. – W. Brantley.

From The Independent, London, England
“His agent Whitt Brantley told The Independent that a remake of Logan’s Run is in the works and that Johnson had been developing a follow-up, Jessica’s Run. “George always believed the original novel needed a third act. Jessica’s Run is that third act,” he said.

He said of Johnson: “He was a such a sweet guy but he had a backbone made out of steel and one of the most beautiful minds I’ve ever known. What is it Nicholas Hilliard said about Sir Francis Bacon? Si tabula daretur digna, animum mallem: “If one could but paint his mind.“

George Clayton Johnson, novelist and screenwriter: born Cheyenne, Wyoming 10 July 1929; married 1952 Lola Brownstein (one daughter, one son); died North Hills, California 25 December 2015.

The bestselling dystopian novel that inspired the 1970s science-fiction classic starring Michael York, Jenny Agutter, and Richard Jordan.

In 2116, it is against the law to live beyond the age of twenty-one years. When the crystal flower in the palm of your hand turns from red to black, you have reached your Lastday and you must report to a Sleepshop for processing. But the human will to survive is strong—stronger than any mere law.
 
Logan 3 is a Sandman, an enforcer who hunts down those Runners who refuse to accept Deep Sleep. The day before Logan’s palmflower shifts to black, a Runner accidentally reveals that he was racing toward a goal: Sanctuary. With this information driving him forward, Logan 3 assumes the role of the hunted and becomes a Runner.

Originally published in 1967, Logan’s Run is a classic science fiction novel that was immediately considered a classic. The terminology of the book has since entered the mainstream, with terms such as runners and sandmen. In the world of 2116, a person’s maximum age is strictly legislated: twenty one years, to the day. When people reach this Lastday they report to a Sleepshop in which they are willingly executed via a pleasure-inducing toxic gas. A person’s age is revealed by their palm flower crystal embedded in the palm of their right hand that changes color every seven years, yellow (age 0-6), then blue (age 7-13), then red (age 14-20), then blinks red and black on Lastday, and finally turns black at 21. The story follows the actions of Logan, a Sandman charged with enforcing the rule, as he tracks down and kills citizens who run from society’s lethal demand, only to end up running himself.

This new edition of Logan’s Run features striking dustjacket art, and over a dozen full page and spot black & white interiors, by artists Jim & Ruth Keegan.

Nolan’s personal notebook. The book is oversize at 6½ × 10 inches, the same size as other titles in our science fiction series.
