Contents.Opening narration 'Through all the legends of ancient peoples —, — runs the saga of the Eternal Man, the one who never dies, called by various names in various times, but historically known as, the man who has never tasted death. The hero who strides through the centuries.' (Narrator mistakenly says 'Sumerican' instead of 'Sumerian'.)Synopsis Trent is a man with no memory of his life before the previous ten days.

His left hand has been replaced by an advanced computer shaped like his missing hand and protected by some transparent material. Three fingers are missing; the computer tells him they must be reattached before it can tell Trent what is going on. Trent is being hunted by a handful of aliens called the Kyben; they have the missing appendages. The action takes place in a large rundown office building which the Kyben have sealed off from the world. In this deadly game of hide-and-seek, Trent enlists the help of Consuelo Biros , a woman who works in the building.For reasons unknown to him, Trent was sent into the past via a 'time mirror', located in the building. A captured Kyben tells Trent that both of them are from a thousand years in the future. In that future, Earth has been conquered by the Kyben, but all the surviving humans except Trent have mysteriously vanished.

The aliens are being obliterated by a 'radioactive plague' that is killing all of the Kyben occupation force, a plague apparently unleashed by the humans in a last-ditch effort to repel the invasion. In a desperate attempt to find a cure for the plague and to extract whatever knowledge is stored in the hand/computer, the Kyben have followed him back in time with the missing fingers.Eventually, Trent defeats all of his Kyben hunters by ripping off the medallion-shaped devices they wear to anchor them in the past. Trent successfully destroys the mirror and recovers the missing fingers, one by one. When the computer is whole, he learns the terrible truth: he is not a man, but a robot. The human survivors have been digitally encoded onto a gold-copper alloy wire wrapped around the in his. Immune to disease, he must protect his precious cargo for 1,200 years, after the Kyben invasion, by which time the plague will have dissipated. Then he will resurrect the human race.Trent had thought he was a man, as he and Consuelo had begun to develop feelings for each other.

With the truth revealed, she leaves him, pity mixed with horror in her eyes. Trent is left to face 1,200 years of lonely vigil.Closing narration 'Like the Eternal Man of Babylonian legend, like Gilgamesh, one thousand plus two hundred years stretches before Trent. Without love. Without friendship.

Alone; neither man nor machine, waiting. Waiting for the day he will be called to free the humans who gave him mobility. Movement, but not life.'

Awards The teleplay by Harlan Ellison won several major awards:. 1965 — Outstanding Script for a Television Anthology. 1972 Georges Melies Fantasy Film Award — Outstanding Cinematic Achievement in Science Fiction TelevisionProduction Ellison's story outline depicted a sprawling, cross-country chase between the Kyben and Trent (then named Mr. Because this would have been prohibitively expensive, producer suggested that Ellison contain most of the action in a single structure when he went to script. Ellison agreed, realizing that by forcing the plot into an enclosed space, the change from a linear pursuit to a vertical climb — ascending as the action developed — would make for heightened tension.

Most of this episode was shot in the, the same location used for the final scenes of and a closing scene in the 1950 film noir classicEllison's 10-page story outline was published in Brain Movies III in 2013.Ellison's friendship with Robert Culp dates from the production of this episode. He found Culp to be very intelligent, quite a contrast to most actors, whom he described as 'dips — strictly.' When Culp first met Ellison at the Bradbury building location for the film, Ellison introduced himself in a loud voice and told the actor that he had written the episode just for him.

Culp also stated that he felt it was one of the best-written episodes of television in the history of the medium. Culp indicated that he felt the success of the series and this episode was due to the fact that it was, essentially, a morality play. Adaptations and unproduced sequel A adaptation, illustrated by, was published by January 1986. It was the fifth title of the series.Ellison's original script was published in Brain Movies Volume One, by Edgeworks Abbey, in 2011.During the run of, series creator often said that Ellison would write a sequel to this story (possibly called 'Demon in the Dust' or 'Demon on the Run') as an episode. However, the proposed sequel episode never appeared. Ellison was a creative consultant on the series and said in a behind-the-scene book about Babylon 5 written during that show's third season:'I want very much to write this script and Joe very much wants it, and I think it probably will get written during this next season, but one never knows.

I don't want to promise because if you promise, then all of a sudden fans on the internet start screaming, 'Well, where is it, where is it? Why doesn't he do it, why isn't he doing it? He's late again, he's late again.' And then I have to get cranky, go to their house and nail their heads to a coffee table!' In addition to 'Demon With A Glass Hand', Ellison wrote other stories set against the backdrop of the 'Earth-Kyba War.' He adapted five of these — ', ', ', ', and ' — into the graphic novel Night and the Enemy (1987), illustrated.

Also, Ellison's short story ' — later adapted into an episode of the new — is set in the same universe as this story. ( The Starfighters were originally built for the Earth-Kyba war.)Allegations of plagiarism Some media outlets had previously reported that 'Demon with a Glass Hand' was the basis of a settlement that Ellison received after it was allegedly plagiarized for. These claims were disputed by the argument that the claim and subsequent settlement were exclusively premised upon the argument that the opening moments of The Terminator had plagiarized the other Ellison script produced by The Outer Limits,.

Harlan Ellison clarified this in a 2001 exchange with a fan at his Web site: 'Terminator' was not stolen from 'Demon with a Glass Hand,' it was a ripoff of my OTHER Outer Limits script, 'Soldier.' 'According to the Los Angeles Times, the parties settled the lawsuit for an undisclosed amount, and an acknowledgment of Ellison's work in the credits of Terminator.emphatically denied Ellison's allegations and was opposed to the settlement, stating 'For legal reasons I'm not suppose sic to comment on that (the addition of acknowledgement credits) but it was a real bum deal, I had nothing to do with it and I disagree with it.'

Plot[edit]

It has been eighty years since King Gilgamesh defeated 'the tower' single-handedly, and now the tower is reborn again. The 'Summer of Anu' is a season that comes every few years during which the powers of the monsters within the Tower wane thanks to the grace of the great god Anu. Each Summer of Anu, the armies of the Uruk Kingdom secure their strongholds within the Tower, aiming to eventually conquer the upper floors. The story begins with the third Summer of Anu. The city of Meskia is the first stronghold built on the first level of the Tower. In addition to the Uruk Army preparing for their third campaign against Druaga, innumerable adventurers called 'climbers' have been drawn to Meskia by rumors of the Blue Crystal Rod, a legendary treasure believed to be hidden on the top floor of the Tower. Jil, a young guardian, has traveled to the tower and Meskia, the last safe stop on the first floor of the tower. The story follows Jil, a new climber who wishes to reach the top floor of the tower. On the top floor is the evil lord Druaga, and numerous monsters and traps inhabit the floors along the way.

The second season, titled The Tower of Druaga: The Sword of Uruk, picks up 'half a year after' the events of the first season.^[1] With Druaga's guardian defeated, the monsters of the tower have disappeared and a period of peace and prosperity have descended upon the people. Jil and Fatina, having survived the tower's collapse, attempt to move on with their lives while still coming to terms with Neeba and Kaaya's betrayal. This all changes when they rescue a mysterious girl from a group of soldiers. They learn that this young girl, Ki, may be the key to unlocking a great secret within the tower. Armed with this knowledge and haunted by a troubling vision of the future, Jil once again prepares to climb the tower.
