A Psychedelic Sci-Fi Thriller of Mind-Altering Drugs, Telepathy, and Galactic Invasions

In the year 2005, Earth faces simultaneous destruction from an insidious, addictive mind-control drug named Ananke and a covert invasion by an amphibious alien armada from the Sirius star system. Humanity's sole defense is Croyd—a near-immortal, super-powered agent operating under the alias Dr. Orpheus.

Possessing powers of astral projection, time displacement, and mind transfer, Croyd infiltrates the alien syndicate and the drug cartel. Navigating surreal mental dimensions and high-tech espionage, Croyd fights to free human minds before alien ships occupy Earth.

Why You’ll Love This Book

Ian Wallace crafts a mind-bending, fast-paced 1960s New Wave science fiction thriller blending telepathic tradecraft with galactic space opera. Ideal for fans of A.E. van Vogt, Philip K. Dick, and Roger Zelazny.
