The true genius of these experiments becomes clear only when Huysman's widow calls on Drew Lancaster to write the scientist's biography. As Drew deciphers the man's notes, to crack the code of government-funded projects and the secrecy of Huysman's unscrupulous assistant, Claude Dohemy, it is revealed that the great man actually achieved what he set out to do. By genetic manipulation, he induced telepathy in his subjects. But Dohe...

SF novel.

''it was not until the late 1960's that she began to release the mature stories which have made her career an object lesson in the costs and benefits of the market, for it seemed clear from about 1970 that she was most happy as a writer at the commercially unpopular novella length, and least happy as a novelist. Her response was to publish short stories and novellas, frequently brought together in book form as ''speculative fiction'', while at the same time producing intermittently capable and variously ambitious full-length tales. The strongest of these stories are exercises...

Fantasy/thriller.

''normally her novels - like A Sense of Shadow (1981), Welcome, Chaos (1983) and Huysman's Pets (1986) - tend to dissipate powerful beginnings in generic toings and froings. Her Leidl and Meiklejohn sequence of sf/horror/fantasy detective tales -The Hamlet Trap (1987), THE DARK DOOR (1988), Smart House (1989), Sweet, Sweet Poison (1990) and Seven Kinds of Death (1992) - seem in their compulsive genre-switching almost to parody this proclivity'' (John Clute/Encyclopedia of SF).

''Kate Wilhelm has done her usual excellent job of weaving an intricate plot and sympathetically portraying believable and complex characters in settings that are described with force and clarity. This 1979 novel is set in the not-too-distant future, when a devastating drought in the American West, and much of the rest of the world, has caused economic and social collapse. The story alternates between the viewpoints of Cluny, a scientist dedicated to the construction and operation of a space station, and Jean, who was Cluny's childhood friend but has now ...

A book in the Barbara Holloway crime/mystery series.

''murder mystery novel: the story's setting, a rehabilitation clinic in Oregon, seems innocent enough, but it turns out that everyone has reason to hate Dr. David McIvey, and someone finally kills him. The book excels because of the depth of Wilhelm's character development. Fields picks up on this strength, using changes in tone and style to give each character a unique personality, particularly the women, who hate McIvey for personal or professional reasons, or both''.
