An undercover agent carrying the secret of this weapon must defeat an insane opponent, one who has decided that when she dies, the Earth will go nova with her.

If one could be trained to make use of the rest, virtually anything would be possible: telepathy, telekinesis, levitation, clairvoyance. In 'Lost Legacy' that is exactly what happens. Three people find they have enormous powers - a doctor can heal without the use of surgery or medicine - a lecturer can instruct without the use of words - a woman can drive without looking at the road ahead. But why have they got these powers? Can any human being be trained to develop their own 'unknown' abilities? Only a trip to the ancient mountain of Shasta can provide the answers. / Hypothesis: If one could change the genetic structure of any living being, then virtually any variation of life could be created in any shape, size or form. 'Jerry Was A Man' explores these possibilities, from a miniature elephant capable of communicating with humans to a flying horse. with all the sinister implications that such manipulation might engender:- Review(s): "Two powerful stories of speculative fiction from the acknowledged master, Robert A Heinlein:- (original cost £0.80).
