“The Theta Syndrome”––Kirkus Reviews:
“Curious Claudia Terman knows the ugly truth about a pharmaceutical-testing coverup, so, after a non-accidental car accident, she's comatose, kept alive by a machine in Garden Grove Hospital's Intensive Care Unit. Though there's no neurological damage, her brain's functioning only on the deep, deep theta level-and when sensitive nurse Arlene Wyatt develops migraines and starts automatic-writing phrases like ""For God's sake help me"" and ""He wants to kill me,"" psychologist Don Glezen realizes that Claudia's fear-paralyzed brain is trying to tell them something, telepathically. Even the skeptical staff psychiatrist and case physician get the message once Claudia's waves zap the surgeon who's about to operate on her and send beakers flying. So the L.A. cops are brought in to deal with the real-life threat (it's hit-man Mr. Mancini down the hall) that has Claudia psyched up and tuned out. The angst of Claudia's brother, the viciousness of Claudia's estranged husband, and syringes full of hospital atmosphere fill out a TV-shaped jeu d'ESPrit that couldn't be set anywhere but in California and couldn't be done much better by anyone but veteran suspenser (Flight of the Phoenix) Elleston Trevor.”

BOOK PHOTOS: All book pictures are taken in bright white LED photo light, and thus brightness, contrast, and colors of books may appear more intense in photos than in person in the warmer incandescent lamp light of your home.  In simpler terms, your new vintage books will fit right in with your cozy abode.

Please remember: All books offered by Texas POEtrope are in need of a loving new home, and (other than C.A. Broadstone autographed works) have had previous owners, resulting in relative wear.  Thus, some books possess more interesting scars telling of their journey through the world, and life, than others.  Please study book pictures closely to be sure the book(s) shown are for you.  Every book with a dust jacket has been carefully placed in a BroDart protective archival cover.  All sales are final.
