William F. Nolan è celebre come coautore del romanzo di fantascienza La fuga di Logan (Logan's Run), un'opera che ha ottenuto un significativo impatto culturale attraverso adattamenti cinematografici e televisivi. La sua prolifica produzione di racconti brevi gli è valsa l'inclusione in numerose antologie e libri di testo, sottolineando la sua vasta influenza nel genere. Le narrazioni di Nolan esplorano frequentemente gli aspetti più oscuri della natura umana e delle strutture sociali, spesso ambientate in contesti futuristici ma inquietantemente plausibili. La sua scrittura è caratterizzata da un acuto sguardo psicologico sui personaggi e da trame avvincenti che immergono il lettore in profonde esplorazioni della psiche umana e degli enigmi etici.
The story continues Logan's journey in Sanctuary, revealing it to be far from the idealized existence he expected. He seizes the opportunity to embark on a perilous mission to dismantle Hourglass, the facility that regulates lifespans through implanted devices. Now under the control of the formidable Gant, a former Sandman, Logan faces new challenges in this epic adventure that expands on the classic narrative created by William F. Nolan and George Clayton Johnson.
