HTML: Stanley Huysman, a Nobel Prizeâ??winning scientist, had spent his later years on far-out experiments never much heeded by the scientific community. Only after Huysman's death does his visionary genius become clear, when his widow, Irma, arranges for Drew Lancaster to write the scientist's biography. As Drew delves into Huysman's notes, he discovers not only that the great scientist had actually been able to induce telepathy in his subjects by genetic manipulation, but also that Huysman's assistant, Clyde Dohemy, has unscrupulously taken over the project in hopes of lucrative funding. When Drew recruits his ex-wife, Irma, and a group of young people who knew about Huysman's experiments to set a trap for Dohemy, they are drawn into a web of secrets involving Senate files, counterfeit money, gambling casinos, and the Secret Service.

By page 100 of this 217 page book, I wondered if this was one of those books that gets lost in a maze of plot mechanics and characterization. But all is well. Everything does converge, the majority of threads are either tied off or how they will tie off is clear, and the main science fictional conceit, while more Maguffin than anything else, is critical to the story, including the many coincidences, just a few of which are in my summary.
Recommended for those who like well-written SF-tinged thrillers. ( )
