It gives me great pleasure to announce the completion of my second book-length solo project at Librivox: Mark Phillips' novella Brain Twister.  I've been working on it since the end of March last year (with occasional interruptions for chapters of collaborative projects.

From the catalog page:

“Mark Phillips” is, or are, two writers: Randall Garrett and Laurence M. Janifer. Their joint pen-name, derived from their middle names (Philip and Mark), was coined soon after their original meeting, at a science-fiction convention. Both men were drunk at the time, which explains a good deal, and only one has ever sobered up. A matter for constant contention between the collaborators is which one.

Originally published as That Sweet Little Old Lady, Brain Twister follows the adventures of FBI agent Kenneth J. Malone as he attempts to unravel the machinations of a telepathic spy. His first problem: how do you find a telepath to catch the first telepath?

The novella was nominated for the Hugo Award in 1960.

If you enjoy spy stories, science fiction, and moderate silliness, I think you'll enjoy this book.  :)
