Logan’s Run by William F. Nolan and George Clayton Johnson is $2.99 at Amazon US. This is a rare instance where the movie (which isn't great) is better than the book. In the end, it's a better idea than the book or movie which spawned from it. I'd like to see a remake done.
Quote:
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.
