Logan's Run by George Clayton Johnson, William F. Nolan
3.0
A product of the 60’s, in particular the Vietnam war, and the fear of the bomb. Nolan creates a story about the young, for the young, and a future that’s a mishmash of politics and dystopian ideas found in better novels.
No one can live over the age of 21. Once the age is reached, death is mandatory. Sometimes people run. Logan is a hunter of such rebels. That is until his time comes.
The first half is really fun, even if the writing is pretty bad. The middle drags a little, with too many references to the civil war, but fortunately the ending is pretty satisfying.
Overall, Logan’s Run is exactly what you expect, a pulpy sci-fi adventure story that is easy to digest. Entertaining trash.
