Edwin Vincent Odle (1890-1942) was an editor and author who from 1926-c.1935 was the first editor of the British short story magazine, Argosy. His brother, the artist and illustrator Alan Odle, was married to avant-garde author Dorothy Richardson. Odle's scientific romance, The Clockwork Man, was first published in 1923 and shows the influence of J D Beresford, an author central to that form who may have helped with its publication, and also of H G Wells. It is the tale of a cyborg - a man into whose body a monitor/time machine has been inserted - who accidentally travels back in time from the far future to the present day, landing in the midst of a cricket match, and, as the 'mysterious stranger, ' describes a world regulated by machines

The Clockwork Man is considered the first appearance of a cyborg in science fiction literature; his only other novel was never published and has been lost.CHAPTER ONE -THE COMING OF THE CLOCKWORK MAN- I -IT was just as Doctor Allingham had congratulated himself upon the fact that the bowling was broken, and that he had only to hit now and save the trouble of running, just as he was scanning the boundaries with one eye and with the other following Tanner's short, crooked arm raised high above the white sheet at the back of the opposite wicket, that he noticed the strange figure. Its abrupt appearance, at first sight like a scare-crow dumped suddenly on the horizon, caused him to lessen his grip upon the bat in his hand. His mind wandered for just that fatal moment, and his vision of the on-coming bowler was swept away and its place taken by that arresting figure of a man coming over the path at the top of the hill, a man whose attitude, on closer examination, seemed extraordinarily like another man in the act of bowling.

It is a cold winter's night when Karl enters the White Horse Tavern looking like he's swallowed a thundercloud. His final task as a clockmaker apprentice is to make a new figure for the great clock of Glockenheim. He has not made the figure – or got any idea of what it could be, and the unveiling is tomorrow. Fritz is also in the tavern; there to read aloud his new spooky story. Like Karl, he hasn't finished. Well, he knows how the story starts and he knows it's called Clockwork – so, with the snow swirling down outside, he sets his story going and just has to hope that the ending will come to him as he tells it. Suddenly, Fritz's story and real life merge in a completely sinister way – and just like clockwork it can't be stopped ...

The apprentice's friends think hearing the latest story by Fritz, the writer, will cheer poor Karl up. At least it will distract Karl from the fact that he hasn't produced a new moving figure for the great timepiece at the center of town, as he was supposed to. But to Fritz's horror the story he tells Karl begins to come true, and one of the main characters -- the evil Dr. Kalmenius -- shows up with a terrifying piece of clockwork. It's a knight called Sir Ironsoul. And when Karl decides to accept Dr. Kalmenius's offer and try to pass Sir Ironsoul off as his own work, the results are...well, deadly.
