| ppint. 29th Nov 2017 | Rated 9/10fix-up novel revised from three linked novellas featuring gerald howson, a frighteningly powerful, physically handicapped telepath fortunate enough to get picked up as a young kid by the u.n. from chaotic insurrectionary/terrorist circumstances, and trained - first, and essentially, to control his mental "voice" - and then, to use it to make a living, perhaps by going into and helping mend others' damaged minds, to make others' broken lives whole again. - but eventually the young man is faced with trying to bring back someone who is not ill, has apparently as good and as happy a family life, as he has satisfying a professional career - and who is as strong a telepath as howson, powerful enough to drag others with him as he withdrew into his fantasy world - which will kill all of them through dehydration or starvation, as well as himself, if his grip is not broken; and howson is faced with the appalling prospect that he could do as easily do the same, withdrawing from his personally actually painful reality into a much more enjoyable fantasy world that he could create within his own mind - and why should he not: after all, he would be far happier there, than in reality - wouldn't he ? sort-of aka "the whole man" (1964), q.v. (which differs quite a bit from "telepathist", as john revised the text for the uk fix-up novel). 1 person found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review? | |
