Summary "Death's Wisher" by Jim Wannamaker is a science fiction novel written in the late 1950s. The narrative revolves around themes of telepathy, psychokinesis, and the ethical implications of possessing such powers, uncovering the potential dangers that accompany extraordinary mental abilities. The story unfolds against a backdrop of government secrecy related to nuclear physics and explores the balance between the safety of millions and the rights of an individual. The plot follows Patrick Flinn, a parapsychologist with telepathic abilities, who is recruited by the government after a failed nuclear test leads to concerns about a scientist named Malcolm Dobbs. Dobbs possesses psychokinetic powers that allow him to manipulate atomic structures, posing a threat to global safety. As Flinn attempts to understand and counter Dobbs's abilities, he grapples with the moral dilemmas of using his own powers to stop a man who might be capable of catastrophic destruction. The tension escalates as Flinn learns of a conspiracy to eliminate Dobbs, leading to a confrontation filled with high stakes, ethical considerations, and a deep examination of the nature of power and responsibility. The climax raises questions about the cost of security and the implications of sacrificing one for the many, leaving Flinn—and the reader—haunted by the consequences of their actions.
