Healer Book

In the far future, where intersteller travel and human-colonized planets have become reality, Steven Dalt is considered unreal. He shares his thoughts, knowledge, and experiences with an alien symbiote fused in his mind and body. Possessing the ability to regenerate damaged cells, he has been blessed -- or cursed -- with immortality. Every few decades, he must uproot himself and begin anew before his ageless appearance arouses suspicion. On the neo-anarchist planet of Tolive, Dalt has found a sense of enlightenment, and maybe his destiny, with the Interstellar Medical Corps. An affliction known as "the horrors" is spreading across the galaxy -- sealing off the minds of its victims in a fear-induced catatonia. Steven's psi capabilities enable him to breach the consciousness of his patients and set them free Centuries pass and Dalt evolves into a mythical being known as "The Healer", whose curative gifts are legendary. But the the horrors remain an epidemic created by a malign intelligence seeking humanity's destruction -- and only The Healer has any hope of defeating it. The Infrapress edition of Healer includes short story "To Fill the Sea and Air" and an introduction by the author.Read More
