A 1969 book about investigating para-psychological ability in people. The prose ranges from riveting, to ordinary, to long boring paragraphs. Fortunately, most of it is in the fist two categories. Still, it is pretty old.
The story contains a great real world component which does have a very good concrete conclusion. The para-psychological side does not end quite as clearly but is good enough. I can't really recommend the book but it is good and worth a read, if you can find a copy.

Just a mediocre 70s sci-fi novel--nothing special or deep here. I think I got this randomly at a library book sale or something. It was only 200 pages so I gave it a shot.
The author constantly uses italics in dialogue for emphasis, which is enough of a strike for me to not recommend anyone bother with this one. Plenty of other books out there!
