A sub-class of humans created by
Piers Anthony in his
sci-fi trilogy
Man and Manta. The were created by the
government as a sort of
police special agents. A product of
cloning, every Agent is
programmed with exactly the same
intelligence,
skills, and
experience(or lack thereof). The Agents have
superhuman reflexes,
speed, and
logical deduction powers.
After a mission is complete(usually no longer than a week or two), the Agent is allowed a
brief period of entertainment with other Agents and then has his or her
memory wiped for their next mission. The blank memory before each mission is said to give the Agent an un
biased view of the target or subject, which in turn makes his or her
report to the central
computer much more
reliable.
Truely a
remarkable character creater by
Piers Anthony.
