Na Grã-Bretanha foi intitulado "Gold the Man", publicado por Gollanz em 1971.
Gold [a genetically enhanced man] lives in America, in a world governed by the United Nations. Humanity has been under attack by an extra-terrestrial race they know only as Exterminators, having never seen an individual. The conflict has resulted in one of the enemy ships crashing on the Moon. The sole survivor is a humanoid giant, who was brain-damaged due to lack of oxygen.
The Russians also have a genetic superman, Pavel Petrovna. He has built a capsule inside the giant's head, with the ability to control its body's movements from a keyboard while observing the world through one of the eyes. Petrovna himself is deformed, with arms and legs too short for his body. Only Gold has the ability to operate the controls. The plan is for Gold and Petrovna to be installed in the capsule inside the giant, and await rescue. The giant will taken back to his home world, allowing the humans to gain intelligence about their attackers.
As coisas não correm como planejado e Petrovna é substituída por sua assistente, Marina Syerov.
