The Resurrected Man E C Tubb

Captain Baron, space pilot, was forced to abandon his ship, waiting for a rescue that never arrived. Five years later, his frozen and preserved body is recovered.

Two eager physicians ignore the old adage, "Let the dead lie," and employ experimental surgical techniques to revive him. The procedure is successful, but their celebration is short-lived. It becomes apparent some aspects of Baron's personality died in the cold depths of space.

Baron walks the Earth, cast aside by the military and stripped of all his worldly goods. His only remaining asset is the novelty and notoriety of being a "Resurrected Man." When that asset becomes a liability, he becomes an angry fugitive, striking out against his exploiters and those who abandoned him.
