Doctor Lerne is the original mad scientist who performs organ transplants not only between men and animals, but also with plants, and even machines...Often hailed as a science fiction visionary, Maurice Renard coined the term 'Scientific Marvel Fiction' and went on to pen a series of gripping, ground-breaking sci-fi stories. The author's first, and best novel, "Doctor Lerne" stands out as one of the most original works in the genre to emerge at the beginning of the twentieth century.
