Book summary

Louis Sacchetti is taken from the prison he's been sentenced to and put in Camp Archimedes. He is infected with Palladine, a mind-expanding drug whose side effect is syphilis. Sacchetti knows he is doomed to die of syphilis, as are the other camp inmates, and must come to terms with this. It is worth noting that this book, originally published in 1968, appeared in print BEFORE reports of government-run psychological experimentation during the 1950s and 1960s.
