Description
Set in a mid-20th-century context, the novel by George O. Smith combines elements of crime, science fiction, and psychological intrigue. It presents a world where telepathy and psi powers influence social interactions and decision-making, creating a landscape of manipulation and clandestine disputes. The story centres on Wally Wilson, who is coerced by the mysterious Joseph Barcelona into fixing the outcome of the Kentucky Derby, involving three horses that appear incapable of winning as expected. The narrative explores the ethical and social implications of telepathy-based influence, as Wally becomes embroiled in a dangerous game of chance and human nature.
The plot unfolds within a setting of technological and psychic developments that challenge conventional notions of free will and integrity. As Wally navigates the complex web of coercion and deception, the novel examines themes of morality and manipulation within a speculative future society. Published in the mid-20th century, the work reflects contemporary interests in psychic phenomena and their potential influence on real-world events.
