Gladiator

FROM THE PUBLISHER

Hugo Danner is the strongest man on earth, the result of a monstrous experiment by his scientist father. Nearly invulnerable, he can run faster than a train, leap higher than trees, lift a wrecked vehicle to rescue its pinned driver, and hurl boulders like baseballs. His remarkable abilities, however, cannot gain him what he desires most - acceptance - for Hugo Danner is desperately lonely, shunned and feared for his enormous strength.

FROM THE CRITICS

Library Journal

Hugo Danner, through the experimentation of his biologist father, becomes superhuman. He can lift tons, run at dazzling speeds, and jump incredible distances. What he can't do is find acceptance for being different. Dating to the 1930s, Wylie's fable is seen by some as a precursor to the Superman story. Copyright 2004 Reed Business Information.
