Occasion ... for Disaster

Randall Garrett

Humour, Science-Fiction & Fantasy

FBI agent Kenneth J. Malone has a problem: he can teleport, his boss can't explain anything clearly, and someone, somewhere, seems to be making the entire government screw up on purpose. When politicians start making inexplicable decisions, when memos go catastrophically astray, when the machinery of governance starts grinding out disaster instead of legislation, Malone gets the call. His investigation pulls him into a labyrinth of bureaucratic befuddlement and mounting evidence that a secret cabal of psychic manipulators might be influencing the minds of the powerful. The deeper he digs, the stranger it gets: is this sabotage, or something far more insidious? The answers might be walking around inside other people's heads, if Malone can stay alive long enough to find them. Part spy thriller, part comic confection, part genuinely unsettling meditation on free will, this is Randall Garrett at his most inventive.
