Omegapoint by BRUCE STEWART with Dinsdale Landen as Harry Claudius and Sydney Taffer as Czerny Harry Claudius is a disillusioned mortal. He regards ' the machine' as the natural enemy of man. This is a somewhat odd attitude for the Security Officer at Tor Sands Atomic Power Unit; but then Tor Sands, like Harry, is not fulfilling the promise of the early 50s. It is strange, and even a little sinister, that the energy plant should be computerised in such a highly sophisticated manner; and more sinister still that the communications room should pick up a strange, coded message. The only clear thing on it is the identification word-Omegapoint.
