alien powers of terrible force begin to invade the psychic domain of the psi-group. Someone had found a way to cross great distances to enter and destroy human minds. The immeasurable threat of these powers in the hands of an unknown but ruthless enemy had to be eliminated, and so deadly combat was begun for the highest of all stakes - control of the planet. But the hazardous search for the source of this lethal power led unmistakably to a sweet natured innocent yogi and an intelligent, confused young girl.
Dan Morgan (1925–2011) was an English science fiction writer and a professional guitarist, mainly active as a writer from the early 1950s through the mid-1970s. In addition to his fiction, he wrote two manuals relating to his musical profession.
Morgan is best known for his Sixth Perception novels, featuring a group of characters possessed of psychic powers; the three Venturer Twelve space operas, co-authored with his colleague John Kippax (a fourth was written by Kippax alone); and the somewhat tongue-in-cheek novel The Richest Corpse in Show Business.
16 year old Katie ran away from home, got caught stealing, went to a reformatory, fled with the help of her PSI talent. And she finds refuge with an Indian guru. Years later Dr. Havenlake und Peter Moray, leaders of a PSI-research facility are pressured into helping the secret service with a case of high treason. Despite of intense interrogations the main suspect will not confess. Now the telepath Moray is expected to find out the truth. But the suspect is killed via PSI-powers before Moray can examine him. He was a disciple of the guru.
A small book of a rather unknown SF author. And about PSI. This does not sound very promising. But like the second of the 4-book series, that I read a while ago, it was actually not so bad. The style was fluid and easily accessible. Despite the rather esoteric theme, it felt grounded in reality somehow. But (also like in the other book) I disliked the development of the plot and the conclusion. But still, it was OK.
