Monster
The four people gathered in the top-secret research facility seem at first to have nothing in common. Ford Maddox is a former spy, Rachel Sanders is a nurse, Roger Beckersly is an Army Ranger, and Louise McDonnaugh is a computer programmer. What has brought them together is their telekinetic ability, a talent that Mr. Brown, a CIA project head, hopes to exploit through the use of Teeks, devices that amplify telekinetic power. At first, Brown tries these individual's talents out on simple tasks--moving or crushing a granite block with their minds--but soon his true intentions are revealed. Their first real assignment, says Brown, is to use their powers to kill a Balkan terrorist leader and war criminal. Rachel objects to the assignment on moral grounds, but Brown forces her to take part by threatening to send her brother, a junky and small-time crook, to jail for life. With Rachel on board, the assassination is a success, as is the elimination of a pesky African revolutionary leader. But, the telekinetic powers produce unexpected side-effects and soon the killers find that they have become the prey.
The only living telekinetic member is in fact the hunting monster, as his mind envisions and appallingly substantiates itself. And unfortunately, everyone involved in the project, including the man, is vanquished by the "monster."
