Publisher's Blurb – Lower Cover
Outwardly, David Selig is unimpressive. His promise as a student and scholar has been unrealized as he enters middle age. He is a person alone and barely making it. But he is also a person with the power of a god, for he can project his consciousness into other minds, other bodies, other souls. He can read thoughts and feelings. His essence, as he sees it, is in this unique and formidable power – and his power is dying.

In this compelling novel we experience with David what it is like to be dying inside – dying with regret for his lost past and with fear of the future. We live with him his struggle to find his humanity in the face of losing the one weapon that had offered protection from the predatory world around him.

This is a fascinating portrait, readily identifiable, yet strange. Never has the experience of telepathy been conveyed so vividly, so excitingly, so chillingly. And never has Robert Silverberg created so moving a story, as he depicts the flux of dying and thrust toward rebirth.
