Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"The Telenizer" by Don Thompson is a science fiction novel written during the mid-20th century, likely in the early 1950s. The book explores the concept of telenosis, a mind control technique that allows for the direct transmission of thoughts to a person's brain, leading to psychological manipulation and creating intense mental experiences. The story revolves around protagonist Earl Langston, a journalist, as he navigates a twisted plot involving this technology while grappling with the potential dangers posed by someone using it against him. In the narrative, Earl Langston becomes aware of a telenosis attack targeting him, filled with horrifying visions, such as blood flowing from his faucet, leading him to suspect that he is being manipulated. His investigation reveals that Isaac Grogan, a vengeful character with a history involving Langston, is likely behind the attacks. As Langston employs a makeshift defense mechanism to protect against the telenosis, he also investigates a quirky health cult, Suns-Rays Incorporated, which provides both comic and serious elements to the plot. The tension escalates as Langston and his bodyguard Maxwell uncover a deeper conspiracy tied to the cult and the impending use of telenosis for malicious purposes, ultimately culminating in a race against time to thwart Grogan's plans.
