The Vort Programme — John Rankine

Robert Cain had no idea why he had been sent to enrol at Picton Polytech, but when a blue and yellow auto car dropped eight feet and nearly crushed him out of existence, he knew there was more to it than just a crash course in The Science of Mental Life for which he was registered. Who was trying to kill him and why? Why should ultra-sensitive receivers be hidden in the walls of his room? Who was programming the androids like the one which tried to throw him off his upper-floor balcony in the middle of the night? With the help of Art Delacroix and a beautiful girl called Christie Maclean, Cain sets out to discover the truth. What is the Vort programme?
