Death's Wisher

A parapsychologist is abruptly summoned to a secure government facility where scientists and an FBI agent assess his telepathic and telehypnotic abilities. After a convincing demonstration of mind reading and influence, he becomes enlisted to confront a lethal device that seems to anticipate and outmaneuver attempts to disable it. The narrative follows technical briefings, on-the-spot experiments, and escalating efforts to stay mentally ahead of a dangerous, thinking threat, while probing the moral and strategic consequences of using psychic techniques under high-stakes, military pressure.
