GET OUT OF MY MIND!

Nothing quite prepared telepath Larry Greenberg for mind-to-mind contact with an alien.

In the interest of science, Larry tapped the mind of Kzanol - and that was his first mistake!

Kzanol was a thrint from a distant galaxy.  He had been trapped on Earth in a time-stasis field for two billion years.  Now he was on the loose, and Larry knew everything he was thinking.

Thrints lived to plunder and enslave lesser planets... and the planet Kzanol had in mind was Earth!

Nice to read some old sci-fi from a great hard-science fiction writer.

  • I try to maintain page numbers for audiobooks even though obviously there aren't any. I do this to keep track of pages read and I try to use the Kindle version page numbers for this.
  • Synopses marked with an asterisk (*) were generated by an AI. There aren't a lot since this is an iffy way to do it - AI seems to make stuff up.
  • When specific publication dates are unknown (ie prefixed with a "Cir"), I try to get the publication date that is closest to the specific printing that I can.
  • When listing chapters, I only list chapters relevant to the story. I will usually leave off Author Notes, Indices, Acknowledgements, etc unless they are relevant to the story or the book is non-fiction.
  • Page numbers on this site are for the end of the main story. I normally do not include appendices, extra material, and other miscellaneous stuff at the end of the book in the page count.
