5.0 out of 5 stars Death Machine is a retitled "Rogue Moon", December 28, 2007
This review is from: The Death Machine (Paperback)
The reason 2 readers suggested Rogue Moon on this page is because Death Machine is a retitling of Budrys' classic novel of identity and power. "Rogue Moon" was nominated for a 1960 Hugo Best SF Novel Award, but lost to Canticle For Leibowitz", according to wikipedia.

A study of non-altruistic characters interacting with each other. James Blish's review stated all six characters were clinically insane.
