Book Excerpt: 
. . .Well," Malone said, "if he knows you and your group are working on telepathy and can detect what he's doing, why didn't he just hold off on the minds of those geniuses when they were being tested in your machine?"

Dr. O'Connor frowned. "I'm afraid that I can't be sure," he said, and it was clear from his tone that, if Dr. Thomas O'Connor wasn't sure, no one in the entire world was, had been, or ever would be. "I do have a theory, however," he said, brightening up a trifle.

Malone waited patiently.

"He must know our limitations," Dr. O'Connor said at last. "He must be perfectly well aware that there's not a single thing we can do about him. He must know that we can neither find nor stop him. Why should he worry? He can afford to ignore us—or even bait us. We're helpless, and he knows it."

That, Malone thought, was about the most cheerless thought he had heard in some time.

This short read is a fun piece of science fiction that features claims of immortality, mind-reading, spies and insanity. It is light and clever.

My favourite character is Miss Thompson, or Queen Eliz

What a fun, quirky detective novel! It had so many wonderful elements and descriptions that I couldn't put it down. From patients in psych wards to perfectly sane detectives, I loved the depth of the characters and the wonderful ride this story takes the reader on.

a little gem of a book, that often very humourous if I a little un politically correct at times in it's terminology, offers quite a good philosophical Question, Would Not by Its Very Nature, The Ability to Read Minds Only Lead to Insanity!

"There's a spy at work in the Nevada plant, Kenneth. And the spy is a telepath."

Mostly humorous, somewhat silly sci-fi mystery from 1962, set in what would have been the cold war of the near future. The Americans have accidentally discovered plans for their new rocket are being snooped telepathicall

This wasn't a bad book. In fact, there were times when I enjoyed reading it. Most of the time I was reading it, though, I was thinking about how much I wanted to finish it so I could move on to something else. Things that seemed novel for the first ten pages or so got old pretty quickly. Sort of an
