In a nutshell. Mind travel is a reality. Beings from all over the universe work together as operatives for the Inter Galactic Council to maintain peace. However, components of the original mind transfer device, which could also alter the mind permanently, have been found. The council fears that a crucial component containing the circuitry for the device has been seen on the planet Tishog and if it falls into the wrong hands, mind control would be a possibility, making it possible to change the course of history in favour of those in control of the device. The council, therefore, must retrieve it first to ensure universal safety. Frank Melton, a reluctant operative from Earth, teams up with other operatives to retrieve the missing piece.

Opening. Bankrupt and remorseful, Frank Melton tries to get his life together, two years after losing his job. He decides to practice meditation to help him to relax and to guide his thoughts during the healing period. During this time, he has unexpected and unexplainable visions, which unnerve him at first, but after a series of ‘tests’ he comes to realize that the visions were indeed due to his mind being transferred to a host body on the planet, Trellin. He is forced to keep his involvement secret, since leaders on Earth were not aware of such advanced technology and it was thought by the council that such knowledge held by a developing planet may cause chaos. If he disclosed his involvement to anyone, his memory would be wiped of all participation.

Closing. A sample of a drug that can render an operative ‘comatose’ is retrieved by an ‘all-Earth’ team of operatives. An operative known by Frank only as “Tolok” approaches Frank for support, should he need it when they return to earth. The mission is successful and Frank is asked by Howard and an elder from Trellin to save the incarcerated Tolok, since he had been without food for three days, kept alive only by his controller which was losing energy. However, Frank is not told the circumstances behind Tolok’s internment. Frank struggles with the non-committal manner exercised by Howard and the elder and begins to doubt whether he wants to continue to participate with the program. Saving Tolok adds fuel to his thoughts since Tolok proved to be a serial rapist and child molester.

The three books on one page.

Book one: Summarized above.

Book two: Frank is still considering whether or not he wants to continue with the operative program when Howard, an intelligent robot, asks Frank to help save a fellow operative and friend, Tim, who had been rendered comatose on the planet, Tishog.

As a consequence to Franks gallant action, he and Tim pair up for future operations which continue to be involved with finding the missing components of the ‘mind control’ device, though this time, they are up against more sophisticated and advanced communities.

Frank also suspects that a friend, Gabrielle, is also an operative, but for who? Could she be working with the rival group, Deltrum, and enemy of the Intergalactic Council?

Frank and Tim also become suspicious of the elders of Trellin, suspecting that they want the device for their own gain, but proof thus far has eluded them. Frank once again takes time away from the program to reconsider his involvement.

Book three: Frank develops a ‘virus’ which effectively prevents his controller from reporting erroneous thoughts to the elders. He gains the trust of Gabrielle and with Tim, the three operatives foil a plot by the elders on Trellin to alter the minds of earth leaders (including the military) and to take control of the planet, since Trellins resources are depleted.
