"A Matter of Proportion" by Anne Walker is a science fiction novel written in the late 20th century. The story explores themes of identity, human resilience, and the extraordinary lengths individuals will go to in the face of overwhelming challenges. Set against a backdrop of conflict and advanced technologies, it delves into the psychological and physical struggles of its characters as they navigate a harsh and demanding environment. The narrative follows Clyde Esterbrook and his comrades as they undertake dangerous missions in a war-torn landscape. Using advanced equipment like the inter-cortical encephalograph (ICEG), the story illustrates the intense teamwork and perilous situations the characters encounter. Clyde, who has undergone a groundbreaking brain transplant, brings a unique perspective as he grapples with his past identity while leading risky operations against their enemies. The plot intricately weaves together moments of tension and reflection, as the characters confront not only physical obstacles but also their personal motivations and fears in a quest for survival and meaning in a chaotic world.
