Ten wealthy, powerful members of the Upper Circle rule the Union with an iron fist, and a small chip implanted in the brain of every citizen. Born to the privileged class, Walter Denton is now a wanted man. He has discovered extraordinary powers, with which he hopes to break the Council's grip and set mankind on a higher path of Mind Over Matter."Classic space opera!" -- Ernest Lilley, Editor, SFRevu5 Star Reader Reviews:--This fast paced book, set in the near future, revolves around 2 men. Walter Denton has discovered new astounding powers of mind that he claims anyone can have. But he comes to be feared and hated by his boyhood rival, Silas Lindquist, who is now one of the most powerful rulers of the solar system.Filled with technical marvels of the future (some of which I would like to see, and some of which are a nightmare!) and intelligent and humorous writing, Zimmermann weaves an intriguing story, on one side filled with ambition, lust, pride, and greed, and on the other side virtue, caring, and a determination to free people from the tyranny of the mind that the Monitors exercise over most of the population.--Action Packed: I really liked the story line and inventive technologies. At every page, I could imagine a movie made from this book with its graphic descriptions. I recommend this book for anyone even mildly interested in space, science fiction, or just a great story!
