In A WHOLE MAN, a baby boy is born in a hospital surrounded by the chaos of battle and civil unrest. The birth is unremarkable and little noted but the child, Gerald Howson, turns out to be very special.

He is afflicted with infirmities and bodily flaws but his mind becomes a miraculous device, capable of telepathic marvels that can, and do, change the world.

But the power fantasies that sometimes tempt him are deadly dangerous to those near him and can ultimately threaten the whole of the world. And a man in a physical envelope that inspires pity and fright turns out to be the embodiment of a superman.

Also known as Telepathist.
