Egan Rains is a telepath traveling in India to locate a man important to astronomy, burdened by a malfunctioning identification pin that unpredictably broadcasts. He struggles to conceal his abilities while navigating crowded streets and hotel surveillance, discarding the device and adopting the guise of a tourist. Pursuit and danger mount when he and an ally, Gowru, evade soldiers by creating and exploiting mental and visual illusions, including a deceptive tank image that lures troops away, then slipping through swamps and deserted camps to escape detection. The narrative centers on the tension between secrecy and the hazards of telepathic exposure.
