| Summary | "The Legion of Lazarus" by Edmond Hamilton is a science fiction novel written in the mid-20th century. The story involves Hyrst, a man who has experienced a unique 'resurrection' after serving a penalty for a murder he claims he did not commit. Following his return to life, he becomes enmeshed in a web of cosmic intrigue, seeking to uncover the truth behind the murder of his colleague, MacDonald, while grappling with the consequences of his own past and a secretive brotherhood of similarly resurrected individuals. At the start of the novel, Hyrst awakens after fifty years of enforced stasis, where he reflects on his past life and the nature of his return. He is quickly introduced to a world rife with suspicion as he is confronted by Dr. Merridew and Warden Meister, who question him about his time in stasis and the murder he was accused of committing. Hyrst is drawn into a conversation with a mysterious voice in his head, identified as Shearing, revealing that there are remarkable changes within him since his 'death.' Hyrst's quest for the truth props up a narrative filled with metaphysical abilities, as he attempts to navigate the treacherous terrain of loyalty, identity, and vengeance amidst an imminent threat from those who wish to keep the secrets of the past hidden. The opening sets the stage for a tale of intrigue and cosmic exploration infused with personal redemption. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
