Summary of "The song of psi"
Set in the visional deserts of Sinai and Judaea, this tale
of idealism and betrayal has at its heart the Song of Psi, a philosophical
creed of ancient myth and modern physics.
When Hal Burns, a jaded intelligence agent working for the World Government
Corporation, is sent to the Sinai to track down and terminate a terrorist
group known as ‘the Psi Gang’, little can he suspect that he is
about to become their next victim. During a desert exercise he falls into
a coma, only to wake up in Qumran, a Utopian community on the Dead Sea shore.
Here he meets Isis, a young soulsalvager who has answered his own psychic
distress call, and who is to introduce him to the Song of Psi. But while
Hal is beguiled by the Song in the story of ‘Pandora and the Prince
of Psi: A Quantum Quest’, Isis learns of another book, ‘A Quantum
Faust’, whose long suppressed secret could destroy the creed’s
very foundations. As they set off into the desert for his initiation into
the Mysteries of Psi - Hal sensing the promise of immortality, Isis, the
threat of disillusion - both are torn between duty and desire, a moral dilemma
whose apocalyptic resolution will leave rebirth, renunciation and murder
in its wake…
"A
work of great vision."
