Book Description
Al Rice awakens one morning with super psionic powers. While trying to find what happened to him, he learns that three groups of space aliens are observing Earth. Two groups are competing with each other for control of planet Earth. The third group sympathizes with Earth, however their own laws forbid them from any kind of interference with other cultures. Al tries to warn Earth, but his attempts are met with derision. He and a small group of UFO investigators are left with the impossible task of dealing with the powerful space alien forces. To make matters worse, one of the hostile groups has kidnapped and holding as hostage the girl that Al loves, while the other group has perfected a machine that nullifies Al's psionic powers.

Book Description
MUST THE UNIVERSE DIE WITH THEM? The Starfolk, arrogant masters of vast stretches of the cosmos beyond the Earth's sphere of influence, were determined to complete the extermination of the mind-reading mutants of Regnier's planet. But to the mutants themselves, the terror of the Starfolk was nothing compared to the greater dread that gripped their spirits - the obsession that the universe itself was doomed. This obsession ripped into their minds, overwhelmed them, and plunged them into horrifying hysteria. The message of room reached the ears of the Starfolk themselves, forcing the to a fateful decision. They would allow an Earthman, archeologist Philip Gascon, to visit Regnier in an attempt to unravel its secrets. What he found would either contain the key to the ultimate destiny of the universe - or the date of the doomsday.
