This is an uncorrected proof copy in good condition for its age. Stated on front cover “probable publication date May 20, 1974.” The covers are showing their age in that they are generally grubby and there is some staining to the front cover. The rear cover is creased in several places and there is some damage to the spine. Pages are tanned and some foxing to end papers. Light stain towards the bottom of pages (134-186). The half-title page is becoming detached at the top. (The covers are darker than shown in the photo – the flash has made them look quite pale – especially the close-up of the proof information).
SYNOPSIS: “Vanessa Smith looked like any normal seventeen year old girl. But Vanessa wasn’t normal at all.
She possessed extraordinary telepathic powers – and in the 1990s telepathy was the ultimate weapon in psychological warfare. Vanessa, along with other gifted children, was virtually a prisoner at Random Hill Residential School, developing her abilities for Government exploitation.
So when she escaped, Vanessa became a political embarrassment. Questions were asked by the Opposition. It was vital for the Prime Minister, the ruthlessly dictatorial Sir Joseph Humbolt, that everything that marked Vanessa’s existence should be erased. And orders were given that she should be hunted down – using telepaths like herself – and destroyed.”
