Dagger of the Mind

I can't believe this book is languishing here all alone, with no reviews, no picture of the dust jacket, nothing! This book rocks, people! It features a weird, insecure guy who doubts his own sanity, a bunch of very docile flatmates, an institute that delves into mental telepathy and some old fashioned throwing molotov cocktails down into other people's cellars. What more can you ask for? This book will freak you out, guaranteed. If you have ever doubted your own sanity (and lets face it, who hasn't? ) you will empathise with Ian Redpath's struggle to stop aliens conquering the Earth. The few Bob Shaw books I've read have seemed kindof lightweight, and this book is no exception. Its an enjoyable, quick read. I took off one star because the main character is an obvious ripoff of Arthur Dent.
