| 520 | _a"Simple psiman" by F. L. Wallace is a science fiction novella written in the mid-20th century, specifically published in the 1950s. The story follows Egan Rains, a telepathic individual who is both a psiman and an astronomer, as he navigates a dangerous journey through a futuristic India filled with mentalists, telepaths, and a looming threat from space. The novella explores themes of telepathy, the intersection of science and spirituality, and the impact of advanced technology on human society. The plot centers around Rains' quest to prevent a catastrophic collision between Earth and an errant comet. He embarks on a mission to locate a powerful teleport who can assist in manipulating the comet's course. Along the way, he encounters various challenges, including dealing with his own telepathic abilities, evading the scrutiny of local mentalists, and navigating the complexities of Indian culture and spirituality. Rains teams up with Gowru Chandit, a dyeman with unique skills, and together they confront both human and cosmic threats. As the story unfolds, Rains’ scientific rationale clashes with the mystical elements surrounding him, culminating in a thrilling blend of action and philosophical inquiry about the nature of power, belief, and humanity's place in the universe.
