Plot summary[]
A perfectly reflective statue is found at the bottom of Earth's oceans; its age turns out to be 1.75 billion years. In reality, the statue is a member of the ancient slaver species known as the Thrintun, frozen in time due to the effects of a stasis field. When accidentally released, the Thrint immediately begins using his telepathic powers to wreak havoc on Earth. Larry Greenberg, a human telepath who accidentally shared minds with the Thrint, must take extraordinary measures against this menace before the slaver achieves his ultimate goal of complete domination.[1]
