From Publishers Weekly

In this refreshingly different science fantasy by White (Eagle Against the Stars), Naval Aviation Officer Candidate Derek Secrest is distressed to be pulled away from flight training to undergo testing by a top-secret government organization. When the testing reveals he's a natural telepath, his entire world is turned upside down. An attempt to use his powers to interdict a terrorist plot succeeds, but the plot's masterminds prove to be survivors of Greece's Heroic Age, who not only possess technology superior to our own but also wield magic derived from mass human sacrifices. In addition, they're in league with the malevolent beings known to us through myth as the Titans. Derek and his telepathic friends join the opposition, including the gods of Olympus, who are themselves shaken by the discovery that psionic humans possess abilities beyond both god and magician. The basic plot device-that of evil alien gods who once possessed our world trying to regain a foothold-suggests a Lovecraftian horror, but beyond some lip service about the intradimensional realms controlled by the Titans inducing madness, there's an optimism, if not a teleological evangelism, about humans' place in the cosmos that recalls the best of the John Campbell era of SF. White's core audience of hard SF fans will be pleased, as will fantasy readers who enjoy convincing explanations of how such things as magic and psi powers work.

White's latest combines the War of the Gods gambit and the Gods from Outer Space conceit to produce an engaging entertainment. Said gods from out there are literally that: the old Olympians, departed from Earth but now carrying on their ancient war with their predecessors, the Titans, who are in danger of winning. Aspiring naval aviator Derek Secrest is drafted into this war because he is a telepath (it's a family trait), and human telepaths may be indispensable to the victory of the Olympians and the salvation of not only Earth but other planets, too. With other human telepaths, one human traitor, and the advice and counsel of the goddess Athena (portrayed not quite accurately on the cover), Secrest battles the Titans and their human allies. After much suspense and many well-handled action scenes, victory goes to the good guys. Erudite if whimsical about classical mythology, this is certain to be enjoyable at least once. Roland Green
