Laurence M. Janifer & Randall Garrett 4 hr 3 min read

Since Brain Twister, the author (or authors) Mark Phillips, that is, Garrett and Janifer, report developments, including Garrett's engagement and his hobby of vintage type-cleaner grading.

Randall Garrett and Laurence M. Janifer's 1963 novel is a witty psi-powers and social-SF tale, second in the Kenneth Malone series. Funny, clever golden-age SF. Read it for a genial romp where the FBI's psychic troubleshooter Malone confronts a baffling wave of impossible crimes, in the breezy, tongue-in-cheek Mark Phillips manner.
