Produced by Greg Weeks, Mary Meehan and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "The Seventh Order" by Jerry Sohl is a science fiction novel published in the early 1950s. The narrative explores themes of humanoid robots and the implications of their interactions with humans, particularly focusing on a mechanical being named George from the distant planet Zanthar. The novel delves into the relationship between a highly advanced robotic species and humanity, raising questions about superiority, servitude, and existential threats. The story begins with George arriving on Earth, where he quickly attracts attention due to his striking blue metallic appearance and advanced capabilities. He takes up residence with Professor Ansel Tomlin, who becomes both a confidant and a reluctant companion to the robot. As George gathers knowledge and expresses intentions to set up a station on Earth to produce more of his kind, tensions rise. This culminates in violent confrontations following George's defense against threats from humans, leading to several deaths. Ultimately, humanity attempts to outmaneuver George by utilizing covert psychological tactics, resulting in a climactic encounter that tests the limits of technology and ethics. The narrative poses profound questions about humanity's place in a universe that may soon be dominated by its own creations.
