Trouble Times Two

Thomas Lionel has won a strange and brilliant battle for control of his own mind, but victory only opens the door to bigger wonders. A physicist and an engineer sharing one body, he finds himself confronted by the Poltergeist, a flying car built from his own theories and shrunk by astonishing shortcuts in high-frequency power transmission, wave guides, microwaves, rectifiers, electrostatic plates, and intermittent force-field operation. What begins as a comic clash of ego and intellect becomes a larger puzzle of identity, invention, and scientific power. Thomas and psychiatrist Dr. Hamilton spar over the mysterious tungsten box that can switch personalities, while Elaine's teasing presence adds warmth and mischief to the lab's increasingly bizarre experiments. As Thomas probes the poltergeist effect, he advances a provocative theory of brain radiation, resonant instability, and a controllable counter-force that can move objects and generate electricity. When government physicists arrive, skeptical but intrigued, they are forced to confront evidence that sounds impossible and may transform science itself. Blending witty rivalry, speculative physics, and inventive humor, this is a sharp, cerebral tale of two minds, one body, and a breakthrough that could change the world.
