BEN RACKEY Foremost Professional irritant, remarkable in acting both as burglar and inciter in the bizarre and pleasure-seeking world of the 22nd century is a fearless, ruthless man of ingenuity, completely overwhelmed with his own strength. His latest and most Dangerous assignment is to steal THE EXCITER. A dangerous and fragile device for the augmentation of the telepathic transfer of mania. By seeking out and amplifying strong, hostile human emotions, the exciter can turn a street brawl into a full scale war. As soon as Ben has possession if it he will have the power to destroy THE BARRIER. Conceived as the perfect defense against nuclear, biological, and chemical warfare, it was activated in 1989 - an invisible screen of densely flowing ions entirely enclosing the continental zone labeled "The United States." Once the barrier is demolished Ben can escape. --- from book's back cover

3.0 out of 5 stars
John Shirley on a wild mental-power trip,
By Alan Schussman (Arizona) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Transmaniacon (Paperback)
I came across Transmaniacon in a bargain bin after reading John Shirley's Eclipse series. Impressed by his writing in Eclipse, I picked up this tattered paperback to give it a try. Transmaniacon must come from the days when John Shirley was exploding forth with prose and just wrote it all down as quickly as possible. It's not as sharp as the Eclipse books, but it's an extremely imaginative story about a man given extraodinary mental powers with which to carry out a dangerous mission. The easy afternoon read ends in a gigantic conflagration of psychic energy and crisis. It's worth checking out if you're a fan of Shirley, to see his evolution as a sci-fi writer, especially when you can get it for just a couple of bucks.
