Summary: "Infinity's Child" by Charles V. De Vet is a science fiction novel written in the early 1950s. The book explores themes of identity, existentialism, and the consequences of free will within a dystopian society ravaged by a devastating plague. The narrative follows the protagonist, Clifford Buckmaster, as he grapples with the loss of his senses and a profound transformation that leads him to discover the nature of his existence and his internal struggle against a totalitarian regime. The story unfolds as Buckmaster fights against a deadly plague that strips him of his sensory perceptions, leading him to a near-death experience. During this time, he gains a new consciousness and discovers that he possesses an extraordinary inner force. As he seeks to join the Underground resistance against General Koski, the tyrannical leader, Buckmaster is faced with betrayal and the manipulation of his newfound abilities. Throughout the plot, he navigates complex relationships and ethical dilemmas, ultimately uncovering a connection to a greater existential truth that questions the very fabric of reality and individual agency. The climax centers around Buckmaster's struggle to fulfill a destiny that leads not only to his own demise but also to the potential liberation of his world.
