This volume contains all three novels featuring FBI agent Kenneth J. Malone in the Queen's Own FBI (also known as the Psi-Power Series) trilogy: Book One: Brain Twister (That Sweet Little Old Lady) Book Two: The Impossibles (Out Like a Light) Book Three: Supermind (Occasion for Disaster) FBI agent Kenneth J. Malone lives in a world where psionic powers such as telepathy and teleportation exist. Malone must cope with them as well as an FBI Director who leaves Malone constantly confused about what situation he is being asked to handle and what he is expected to do about it. Brain Twister: All the FBI needed to save America was a telepath. Then agent Kenneth Malone found one. Only she was crazy and thought she was Queen Elizabeth. He also needs her help when teenage gang members can escape police and payment for their crimes by teleporting away and vanishing—appearing to simply wink out like a light. The Impossibles: This novel involves Malone with a new kind of crime wave. Cars drive themselves away with nobody at the wheel. Valuables begin vanishing from locked rooms. Malone is afraid it's a new kind of criminal—who can disappear at will, walk through walls, and thumb his nose at the police. Malone is right . . . Supermind: It continues to follow the adventures of FBI Agent Malone as he investigates psychic criminals. He investigates a series of incidents in which people make mistakes—sometimes minor, and sometimes major—that lead to disasters. It looks like a secret cabal of psis may be behind events, influencing the behavior of those involved. Are they? And if so, why? Malone must find out if it kills him—which is a very real possibility. Full of intrigue and adventure, these sci-fi novels are a must for pulp literature fans.

Laurence M. Janifer (born Laurence M. Harris) was an American science fiction author, with a career spanning over 50 years. Janifer was born in Brooklyn, New York with the surname of Harris, but in 1963 took the original surname of his Polish grandfather. Many of his early stories appeared under the "Larry M. Harris" byline. Though his first published work was a short story in Cosmos magazine in 1953, his career as a writer can be said to have started in 1959 when he began writing for Astounding and Galaxy Science Fiction. He co-wrote the first novel in the "Psi-Power" series: Brain Twister, written with Randall Garrett under the joint pseudonym Mark Phillips. The novel was nominated for the Hugo Award for Best Novel in 1960, and published in book form in 1962. Janifer's best known work is the "Survivor" series, comprising five novels and many short stories. The series follows the career of Gerald Knave as he visits (and survives to tell the tale of) planets on the outskirts of the civilized galaxy. In addition to his career as a novelist and short story author, Janifer was an editor for Scott Meredith Literary Agency; editor/managing editor of various detective and science fiction publications; film reviewer for several magazines; and a talented pianist.
