Book description
Stanley Huysman was a Nobel laureate whose visionary theories of his
later years, bridging biology and physics, came to be labelled crackpot
ideas. The true genius of these experiments became clear only when
Huysman's widow called on Drew Lancaster to write the scientist's
biography. As Drew deciphers the man's notes, to crack the code of
government-funded projects and the secrecy of Huysman's unscrupulous
assistant, it is revealed that the great man actually achieved what he
set out to do. By genetic manipulation, he induced telepathy in his
subjects. But Dohemy is now holding those subjects' children prisoner,
and it is only their extraordinary powers that can save them Kate
Wilhelm (1928 - ) Working name of the US writer Katie Gertrude Meridith
Wilhelm Knight, born in Ohio in 1928. She started publishing SF in 1956
with 'The Pint-Sized Genie' for Fantastic, and continued for some time
with relatively straightforward genre stories; it was not until the late
1960s that she began to release the mature stories which have made her
reputation as one of the 20th century's finest SF writers. She was
married to noted author and critic Damon Knight and together they have
had a profound influence beyond their writing, through the Milford
Science Fiction Writers' Conference and its offshoot, in which she was
directly involved, the Clarion Science Fiction Writers' Workshop. She
won the Hugo Award for Best Novel with Where Late the Sweet Birds Sang,
and has won the Nebula Award three times. Kate Wilhelm lives in Oregon,
USA, and still hosts writing workshops.
