The Mindblocked Man (DAW #8) door Jeff Sutton
F/SF
Well written, with an interesting atmosphere, and a healthy amount of philosophy. Some sci-fi set pieces are thrown in that are well described, almost to the detriment of the plot. In the end the actual plot meanders along to a conclusion that does give some answers but is overall pretty unsatisfying.
Still, not a bad book to pass some time on a rainy weekend.

Alton's Unguessable. A very nasty telepathic being is set on subverting a crew of explorers. Fortunately the humans have a man with a very odd mind. The bulmer book, "the ships' is about an engineer getting a high-paying job, but with a risk of being killed at its completion.
This space opera, published in 1960, precedes the Mercury Program and represents the approach to science fiction conventional at that time. The emphasis is on speculative fiction explaining “how things work.” The description of the plot sounded interesting but the author gave little attention to developing characters and advancing the plot. After finishing a quarter of the book (60+ pages) I invoked the Pearl rule and did not finish the book.
