Esper in Aktion

The Sixth Perception #2

by Dan Morgan

The growth of their powers had been quiet and steady and untroubled at first. Once the group's keystone was shaky--the brain of their central member contained two minds whose differences did not complement each other, but clashed brutally--perhaps, fatally for them all.

About the author

Dan Morgan (1925–2011) was an English science fiction writer and a professional guitarist, mainly active as a writer from the early 1950s through the mid-1970s. In addition to his fiction, he wrote two manuals relating to his musical profession.

Morgan is best known for his Sixth Perception novels, featuring a group of characters possessed of psychic powers; the three Venturer Twelve space operas, co-authored with his colleague John Kippax (a fourth was written by Kippax alone); and the somewhat tongue-in-cheek novel The Richest Corpse in Show Business.

Reviews

[Alien · Rating 3 out of 5]

Über einen Psi-Forscher, der selber den Geist eines Telepathen aufgenommen hat.

Eines dieser billigen Terra-Taschenbücher. Aber gar nicht so schlecht wie erwartet. Das Buch geht in arg viele Richtungen und den Schluss fand ich dann sogar doof.
Vom Klappentext: "Jetzt entbrennt ein unerbittlicher Kampf, in dem die Esper versuchen, mit der Kraft ihres Geistes gegen Gewalt und Brutalität zu bestehen" Das ist nicht falsch aber irreleitend.

Was mir gefiel: die Charaktere sind lebensnäher als anderswo, der Stil ist flüssig, das Buch ist kurz
