brief_description
What kind of force can freeze a lynx solid in seconds, so fast that, once thawed, the cat can walk away in perfect health? What kind of force can murder almost all the inhabitants of a small New Mexico town in seconds? Larry Fowler is a scientist--he doesn't want to be frightened by things he doesn't understand. he'd rather run away from the frozen cat than have to believe it existed. However, he can't stop asking questions--questions that will bring him face to face with psychlone! -- from back cover
