Jack Conger, invisible agent for the Remedial Functions Agency - is on a mission to stop the evil rogue resurrectionist, the Sandman. From the back cover of the DAW first edition: "In 2020 A.D. even 20-20 vision wouldn't help you to see Jack Conger when he was working. Because Jack was an operative of the Wild Talents Division of the U.S. Remedial Functions Agency - and his particular specialty was making himself invisible. The RFA sent him where nobody else was able to go. Another one whom nobody was able to set eyes upon was the scientist known as the Sandman. The legendary sandman of childhood myth used to put people to sleep. This one woke them up - much to the chagrin of the governments and plotters who had assassinated them. So they sent the Invisible Man to find the Unseen Resurrectionist... and the result is a breathless Ron Goulart pursuit novel across a whacky, wonder-filled, future world."
