Menace From Vega
A psychiatrist with no business in space becomes humanity's last hope in this pulse-pounding 1950s adventure. Dr. Jim Lawrence's quiet practice is shattered when Dr. Bette Bauer, a brilliant physicist, is kidnapped by alien agents from Vega. As the Galactic Council teeters on the edge of war and a weapon of unimaginable power hangs in the balance, Lawrence must journey to a distant world where telepathy is not science fiction but survival. What he finds there will challenge everything he knows about the human mind and the darkness hiding in the stars above. Randall Garrett combines Cold War paranoia with genuine wonder in this gripping tale of first contact, where the real menace may not be the aliens at all, but what they know about us.
