The Psilent Partner

A brilliant young telepath discovers he can lift his consciousness above the bustling streets of New York, tasting the thrill of limitless perception. Yet the exhilaration is matched by a deep, almost primal fear of sending his mind beyond familiar ground, whether into the subway’s steel veins or farther still. As his abilities blossom, the floating mind returns to his body at the sound of a bell, reminding him of the very human pressures that await.

Meanwhile, Dale V. Lawrence, a hard‑nosed industrialist, is on the brink of losing control of his lucrative atomic venture. He needs a lawyer who can navigate a maze of corporate politics and a government agency bristling with its own psychics. Desperate and aware of the hidden world of psis—telepaths, espers, and their uneasy relationship with the state—he reaches out to an old ally, hoping this unconventional counsel can keep his daring project out of the Bureau’s watchful eyes.
