description: The couch groaned and creaked in the foggy night, and its passengers shifted restlessly. The drive had not re-appeared. Neil could hear another noise that no one else seemed to have noticed. It was a distant, sinister crackling like the continuous discharge of static electricity. And the air seemed acrid with burning. Get broke into an uncontrollable sweat.Neil has always seemed to others to be cold, scientific sort; he envies his friends' ease and assurance, between imagining and reality, ad he finds that he can "see" events - before they happen. Through the course of one hot, tense summer the events come closer, involving his family and, finally, himself. In the dramatic climax, it is Niel's knowledge and his real strength of personality that are put to the test.
