Mark Phillips – Brain Twister
"Mark
Phillips" was the pseudonym of two well-known science fiction writers:
Randall Garrett and Laurence M. Janifer. Their joint pen-name, derived from
their middle names (Philip and Mark), was coined soon after their original
meeting, at a science-fiction convention. Both men were drunk at the time,
which explains a good deal, and only one ever sobered up. A matter for constant
contention between the collaborators was which one. They collaborated for some
years, and devised an interesting method of work: Mr. Garrett handled the
verbs, the adverbs and the interjections, Mr. Janifer the nouns, pronouns, and
adjectives. Conjunctions are a matter of joint decision, and in the case of a
tie, the entire game was replayed at Fenway Park, Boston, the following year.
Regardless of who wrote what, Brain Twister is a highly enjoyable novel about
spies and telepathy, as only two great writers could have conceived it!
Brain Twister - Brain Twister follows
the adventures of FBI agent Kenneth J. Malone as he attempts to unravel the
machinations of a telepathic spy. His first problem: how do you find a telepath
to catch the first telepath? A fun piece of science fiction that features
claims of immortality, mind-reading, spies and insanity.
The Impossibles
- In two words Im Possible. First, late-model cars began driving themselves
away - with nobody at the wheel... Then, valuables began vanishing from locked
rooms... It was a new kind of crime. And Malone, the Government's expert on
"impossibilities," was afraid it was a new kind of criminal...one who
could disappear at will, walk through walls, and thumb his nose at the police.
And Malone was dead right...
Supermind - FBI
agent Kenneth J. Malone lives in a world where psionic powers such as telepathy
and teleportation exist. Malone must cope with them as well as an FBI Director
who leaves Malone continually confused about what situation he is being asked
to handle and what he is expected to do about it.
Malone
investigates a series of incidents in which people make mistakes - sometimes
minor, and sometimes major - that lead to disasters. It looks like a secret
cabal of psis may be behind events, influencing the behavior of those involved.
Are they? And if so, why? Malone must find out if it kills him - which is a
very real possibility.
