233.0. "Logan's Run" by WOODIE::WROTHBERG () Mon Jul 15 1985 14:31

There was a [1mLogan's Run[m series with three books in it a while back, I have
two of them, but can't find the third. THe two I have are Loran's Run and 
[1mLogan's Search[m, I can't seem to recall the name of the third one. Anybody
know where I can get it (if you can remember the name), I loved that program.
It's a pity they took it off the air.

	The other is titled LOGAN'S WORLD, and it's actually the second in the series; LOGAN'S SEARCH is the third. As to where it can be found, you got me. You'll just have to look around the various used-book stores. By the way, both WORLD and SEARCH are by William F. Nolan alone, rather than by Nolan and George Clayton Johnson. --- jerry
233.2	TV series not too bad	HOCUS::LAM		`Thu Mar 28 1991 10:45`	11
	I never saw this program when it was aired on prime time TV, I forget when that was. But I finally saw it for the first time on the cable TV network TNT. Apparently it's not bad, it's not the best sci-fi TV I've ever seen but some of the episode have thoughtful and reasonably good plots. I especially liked the android. It takes a lot of liberties from the movie but the basic premise remains the same. I kind of reminds me of a TV series that Gene Roddenberry tried to get on the air but never made it. I believed it was called "Genesis II" or something similar but I'm not sure. ktlam...
233.3	name of the old man?	GIDDAY::BURT	Chele Burt - CSC Sydney, DTN 7355693	`Mon Oct 26 1992 19:30`	7
	Greetings, I have a small question which has been bothering me for days. I don't have a copy of the book LOGAN'S RUN & it's been years since I saw the movie. What was the name of the "old man" (played by Peter Ustinov in the movie)? Did he actually have a name? or was he merely called "old man"?
233.4	in the desert you can't remember your name...	WHELIN::TASCHEREAU	thirtysuffering	`Tue Oct 27 1992 08:22`	10
	I'll have to dig out my copy of LR to be sure, however, the book and the movie differ so much that I'm not even sure there was an old man in the book. Anyway, I think it was just "old man". If I remember correctly, he had forgotten his name due to the combined effects of isolation and old age. -St
233.5	RE 233.3	VERGA::KLAES	All the Universe, or nothing!	`Wed Oct 28 1992 13:57`	11
	In the 1967 novel, the "old man" was actually Logan's Sandman friend Francis, who was in his 40s and therefore the oldest known person in the world. In the 1976 film, the old man and Franics were two different people. I found the novel to be far superior to the film, not to mention the short-lived television series which spun off it on CBS. The second novel was okay and the third was unnecessary. Larry
233.6	Wasn't it Ballard?	WOOK::LEE	Wook... Like 'Book' with a 'W'	`Mon Jan 11 1993 17:35`	4
	That's the name I remember from the book. There was also a Logan's Run graphic novel that was very faithful to the book. Wook
