Intervention

ISBN: 0002230860
Author: Julian May
Description:
For 60,000 years the five extraterrestrial races of the peaceful Galactic Milieu have been watching and waiting. Gradually planet Earth is approaching the day when human mental development is ready for the Intervention. Unless our self-destructive race blows itself to bits in a nuclear war first, that is. Towards the end of the twentieth century, advanced mental powers are being demonstrated by 'operants' all over the planet. They can open their minds to others' thoughts, they can put up mental shields, they can 'farspeak' one another telepathically, they can use mental coercion. Rogatien Remillard, a secondhand bookseller whose memoirs written over a hundred years later form a large part of this book, is one such operant. His even more skilled nephew Denis will grow up to found a dynasty whose struggles and triumphs will be recorded in the coming volumes of this marvellous new sequence of novels. But where Denis and his followers are committed to bringing peace to the Earth, there are those like Denis's evil brother Victor who turn their extraordinary powers to crime and even murder.
