There is nothing at all like having a sound mind in a sound body, but Dan Merrol had too much of one - and also too much of the other! F. L. Wallace weaves a masterfully futuristic science fiction tale for the ages, in "The Man Who Was Six".
An unprovoked, meaningless night attack is terrifying enough on your own home planet, worse on a world across the Galaxy. But the horror is the offer of help that cannot be accepted!

In a future age of Inter-Planetary travel new world's and alien races are awaiting discovery and a decision must be made. Who will be the first Inter-Stellar explorers to make alien contact? On a tiny asteroid between Mars and Jupiter a tiny handful of people seek the honor. They are ""the accidentals."" They are pathetic, crippled, and deformed humans, half or quarter men and women, fractional organisms masquerading as people. To many they are just ""circus freaks"", but to them they are members of the human race and set out to change mankind forever.
