When the Russians start an undeclared war to bring down the West with assassinations and disinformation attacks, the CIA reactivates a psychic agent from its old Project Stargate to fight off the attacks. Together with agents who once worked for Russia, France, and Mexico—plus a couple of youngsters—he brings the secret war to a blazing conclusion!

The CIA agents and their Russian opponents use every psychic weapon they can think of, from mindreading to telekinesis, telepyrosis and clairvoyance, plus special weapons and gadgets, secret codes, and a fighting style based on classic rock.

"Easton and Wu’s novel is a great example of the subgenre I call 'sci-spy,' the fusion of present-day science fiction and modern spy adventure, but it’s more than that. It’s also about an exotic form of espionage that (if certain sources are to be believed) is more actual than you might expect. This is fiction, yes, but it’s rooted in some very strange and (possibly) very real things." — Allen Steele

"The execution [of how telepathy works] is grounded, as close to firm science fiction as one might envision it." - Sean CW Korsgaard

"A surprising roller-coaster ride that doesn't stop until the last page!" - David Gerrold

"A thought-provoking, fast-paced spy thriller!" - Steve Miller

"Fun, terrifying, and exhilarating!" - Jay Werkheiser

"Stands shoulder to shoulder with Heinlein's best." - Paul Di Filippo
