The free psychics succeed, but what emerges is far more dangerous than any weapon conceived by ordinary science.
As the Third Reich collapses, Francis Allard and the surviving free operants pursue their enemies into the ruins of Berlin. There they discover that Die Reinheit’s final gamble threatens, not only an Allied victory, but the survival of the human race itself.
