Package blurb:  Far away from the Gulf crisis, oblivious to the uproar of
         current affairs, four people stand over the inert body of an
         eleven year old boy. First there had been the nightmares, the
         visions, shattering his life. They had watched, not
         understanding, as he had become gradually more and more
         withdrawn. And now, finally, this. Robin had entered a trance
         from which he was unable to wake. His mind had wandered too
         far, beyond even their reach. They were all involved in
         parapsychological research, but none of them had seen
         anything like this before. And Robin's mind, lost
         somewhere... how was he going to return?
