Description

John Wainwright is a freak, a human mutation with an extraordinary intelligence which is both awesome and frightening to behold.

Ordinary humans are mere playthings to him. And Odd John has a plan - to create a new order on Earth, a new supernormal species.

But the world is not ready for such a change...
