![]() ![]() It is super awkward when he introduces a 16 year old girl into the picture. The author clearly has a thing for young ladies. For the most part all of the crew spent their time hiding out, watching TV, and playing chess. The main character is motivated to bide his time and it takes a while before the author is forced to put a character into real action. Because so much action takes place on another plane (other than ritualistic orgies, of course) I felt that he missed out on being able to use many of his characters. It is totally self indulgent and loves to explore the psyched out world of the mind. The premise is perfect: a psychic aesthete assembles a ragtag crew to fight an evil mastermind (a bishop, a telepathic dentist, an actor action star, an italian manservant with powers, and an out of work alcoholic baseball player). It plays out like Doctor Strange done by Hammer Films. ![]() It really embraces all the fantastic neo-mysticism that started popping up, hitting all the big targets: astral projection/plane, positive and negative energy, telepathy, hypnosis, parallel universes, psychic battles, Tibetan gods, and of course devil worship. Without a doubt this is a product of its time. ![]()
