In doing do he endowed the hitherto shy and diffident Timothy Arnside with the dangerous gift of being able to read the inmost thoughts of his felow mortals. How the Earthman used and abused that gift is the foundation for a graphicaly moving story that culminates in a denouement as unexpected as it is spectaculas."; >>> SCARCE title; >>> Minor writing on cover; >> Store stamp on 2nd page; Size: 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall.
