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 favor 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 others to retrieve the missing piece.

About the Author

Ian Newbegin is a late bloomer to writing novels but not to writing generally. He has written and published a study guide (Australian Study guide, Information Australia, 1985) and four journal articles, three that were peer reviewed. During the year 1999, he completed his PhD after which time he gained a passion for writing to relieve boredom, but mainly to formalize an idea he held for a novel ten years previous. Needless to say, his thesis involved the study of procrastination. As a young adult, Ian practiced Karate and meditation, eventually teaching it to students at school along with relaxation techniques. Later, he developed the concept of ‘mind travel’ from the principles involved in meditation, which forms the basis of the book, Stay. Ian has four adult children, six grand children, and a loving wife who supports his passion for writing.
