Blighted Sphere: The Mind-Drill

In 1942, under a hushed War Office directive, volunteers are trained as 'thought-soldiers' to fight unseen foes by discipline of the mind. Their crucible: a blasted overseas globe, a ruined planetary laboratory where radium mists have bred crawling, whispering mutants. By day they endure savage drills in telepathic assault; by night the planet feeds on their memories. As military procedure collides with occult science, recruits discover that victory requires sacrificing the last human refuge—sanity. A bleak, wartime fable of psychic warfare and survival on a mutated world.
