Adam Link Robot by Eando Binder (Paperback Library, 1965)

Another find from the Lifeline Bookfair:


ADAM LINK

- THE FIRST OF THE ROBOT RACE - HAD PHOTO-ELECTRIC EYES, AN IRIDIUM-SPONGE BRAIN AND THE SOUL OF A MAN!

An electronic marvel gifted with incredible skills, Adam Link faces a series of challenges that would stagger a mere mortal, culminating in a fierce struggle to save Earth from destruction at the hands of an alien race.

ADAM LINK ROBOT

Since Eando Binder first wrote about him, Adam Link--Robot has become on of the most famous characters in science-fiction.

Now, for the first time, here is a novel incorporating the startling adventures of Adam Link--a robot battling for existence in a world that misunderstands him, fears him and exploits him.
Adam Link - Robot began life as a series of short stories appearing in Amazing Stories between 1939 and 1942. Not surprisingly, as a novel it is somewhat old-fashioned for 1965 and very episodic. Adam Link is tried for murder, sets himself up as a scientific consultant, falls in love, builds himself a mate, is enslaved by a mad scientist, breaks up a ring of gangsters, becomes a champion athlete and saves the world from an alien invasion--and all in a book only 174 pages long!
