Inter-war science fiction thriller. “..an exuberant Scientific Romance with thriller elements, in which a Mad Scientist switches genius brains into athletes’ bodies, then wipes their minds clean, in order to create a race of obedient Supermen; he is under the control of a Soviet master operator, whose network operates a fleet of futuristic vertical-take-off aerial juggernauts and a Dystopian supercity on a secret Island. All ends in flames.” (SFE)
