(Alan Edward) The Brain Sinner Produced from Planet Stories Spring 1955 Greg Weeks, Mary Meehan and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "The Brain Sinner" by Alan Edward Nourse is a science fiction novel written during the mid-20th century, likely in the 1950s. This narrative explores themes related to telepathy, alien invasion, and societal fears regarding psi-powers, delving into the implications of contact between humans and extraterrestrial beings. The story centers around a powerful telepathic alien who lands on Earth, disguised to blend in among humans. The alien's mission is to study psi-presence, a developing telepathic ability within some humans that poses a threat to his plans for invasion. As the alien navigates through various encounters, he becomes embroiled in a tense political landscape led by Councilman Benjamin Towne, who seeks to leverage the situation to undermine Psi-Highs — those with telepathic abilities — in society. Through the character of Paul Faircloth, also a Psi-High, the narrative highlights the dichotomy between perceived threat and reality while showcasing a gripping battle of wits against the societal backdrop that fears and marginalizes those with psychic powers. Ultimately, the story grapples with the consequences of fear, power, and the possibility of unity in the face of a shared existential challenge. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
