| Summary | "The Sensitive Man" by Poul Anderson is a science fiction novel written in the early 1950s. The story revolves around a character named Simon Dalgetty, who possesses unique psychological abilities that place him at the center of a conflict involving a powerful cabal plotting for world control. As he navigates a futuristic society rife with political intrigue and conspiracies, the narrative unfolds within an aquatic setting called Pacific Colony, blending elements of suspense and exploration into the human psyche. At the start of the novel, readers are introduced to Simon Dalgetty as he observes a group of influential individuals in a tavern, leading him to suspect a kidnapping plot involving a key figure named Michael Tighe. As Dalgetty employs his mental skills to eavesdrop on a conversation that reveals Tighe's perilous situation, he becomes aware of Thomas Bancroft, a dangerous figure potentially linked to Tighe's disappearance. Dalgetty's internal struggles, coupled with his physical prowess and psychological training, set the stage for a high-stakes rescue mission against a backdrop of conspiracies and ethical dilemmas involving power and manipulation, laying a strong foundation for the unfolding narrative.
