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.

Pair this book with Peaches and Cream Oolong Tea

Craving the sun-drenched sweetness of summer peaches and cream, no matter the season? This delightful loose leaf tea captures that nostalgic flavor in every cup. Blended woodsy oolong and robust black tea to create the perfect, sturdy base for juicy, ripe peach notes laced with soft, creamy vanilla essence. Apple and apricot pieces add depth to the fruitiness, while golden calendula petals hint at the sunny disposition within. It's rich, comforting, and brews into a beautiful amber liquor. As the name suggests, it takes beautifully to a splash of milk and a touch of sugar for the full peaches-and-cream effect!
