Supermind

The United States government is quietly collapsing—not by enemy bombs, but by a baffling epidemic of absurd mistakes. It is 1973, and FBI Director Andrew J. Burris is facing an impossible problem. A staggering wave of inexplicable administrative errors, bizarre computer glitches, and sudden senatorial resignations has paralyzed the nation. To uncover the invisible sabotage, he calls on Kenneth J. Malone: an FBI agent armed with secret, classified powers—he can teleport, and he possesses a dormant prescient intuition. Malone soon realizes this is no ordinary treason; it is a coordinated psionic attack. But when he consults an eccentric, institutionalized telepath to track down the psychic culprits, she reveals a chilling twist: a massive, blinding field of "mental static" is deliberately being beamed straight into Malone's mind. Racing against time and his own fracturing reality, Malone must unmask an unseen enemy wielding god-like mental powers before the entire country descends into absolute chaos.
