We have a first Dell paperback 1969 edition of the dystopian novel Logan's Run written by William F Nolan and George Clayton Johnson. Our copy is signed by William F Nolan on the first page. Our edition is the first film tie-in edition.
Logan's Run was first published in 1967, and it details a dystopian ageist future society where everyone is killed at age 21 in order to prevent over-consumption of resources. The film changed the age to 30 in order to have a wider pool of actors to take part.
The blurb at the back states:
The Youth Rebellion Had Triumphed...The young long since had taken over the Earth. Sex, drugs, kicks were unlimited. But the trip from grove to grave was quick. No one was allowed to live past 21. Logan was a Sandman, one of the elite police who hunted those who refused to accept their fate. Then Logan turned 21 - and suddenly he was desperately running, searching, in a world of cities beneath the sea, frozen arctic prison colonies, great hollowed-out mountains, abandoned cities... through a labyrinth of terror that lay between him and safety . . . between him and ultimate triumph...
