About This Book

A captive scientist hates his political captors and suddenly discovers a mental power to make people vanish. He realizes the mind alone can disintegrate flesh, then conceals and tests the ability while under constant surveillance and with his family held as hostages. The narrative follows his experiments to learn the limits of the power, and examines the moral and practical dilemmas that arise as he balances impulses for revenge, fear of discovery, and responsibility for those he loves.
